The screen direction is pretty stellar. The story was simple and yet engaging. This sad drama of a fish who's life was made into a prison, made me sad effectively. I appreciate the effects as well. NOT over used and not distracting.
Positive critique : I would of had the fish have a smile in the beginning and at the end. That would been dramatic and given this character of the Gold fish an emotional Arch that is more bitter sweet because right now, the fish seems like a boring fish who just, through painful process, dies.
I say keep going and be mindful of arcs in characters, even depressing characters have em.
I enjoyed the film. People, watch this and feel the feels.
