Little Fish

Little Fish (2021) is a Canadian-American sci-fi drama directed by Chad Hartigan — watch it online on iFILM. A pandemic is spreading through the population, but it doesn't kill. It erases memory. People lose faces, names, years. Emma and Lute are a couple racing to hold onto what they have before one of them forgets the other exists.

Olivia Cooke and Jack O'Connell carry the film through a structure that cuts between the early days of their relationship and the present, where the virus is already doing damage. The tagline — "Love is unforgettable" — lands as something between a wish and a lie.

Hartigan uses the epidemic as a frame for something quieter: what is a relationship when the shared memory that built it starts to go? It's slow and deliberate, shot with a kind of gray stillness that suits the subject. Not a thriller, not a tearjerker — something more unsettling than either.
