Little Fish

Little Fish (2005) is Rowan Woods' Australian crime drama, available to watch online on iFILM. Cate Blanchett plays Tracy Heart, four years clean and working at a video shop on the edge of Sydney.

The past keeps pulling her back. Her ex resurfaces, her heroin-addicted stepfather (Hugo Weaving) leans on her, and the bank turns down the loan she needs to start a business of her own — her old record always speaks first. A quiet offer of fast money in the Little Saigon district drags Tracy back toward the life she fought to leave. Sam Neill and Martin Henderson round out the cast.

Blanchett carries the film on nerves alone, no glamour, just the exhaustion of someone choosing to stay clean one more day. For viewers who want addiction drama without lectures or melodrama, this one lingers. Stream Little Fish (2005) online on iFILM.
