So Says the WORD<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Reviewing a film whose creator set forth with experimental elements to challenge audiences\u2019 understanding of the norms ingrained in society <\/em>can be challenging for reviewers who want to advise their readers what’s in their best interests. As I\u2019m composing this review \u2013 no doubt 5 stars \u2013 \u00a0I think I\u2019m finally psyching out, or at least getting the pulse of, this striking, enigmatic, 17-minute short by promising director, Wendi Tang<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, it took more than one screening of FISHTANK for me to get comfortable. I won\u2019t say how many times.🤣 I want my readers to take note of my auguring.🤣<\/p>\n

I think I\u2019ve pretty much deciphered the surreal and the enigmatic for a review article that doesn’t spoil nor despoil the cinematic surprises in Director Tang\u2019s deftly made flick. However, FISHTANK also required a different approach to reviewing it \u2013 audiences may have to\u00a0 keep eyes and ears more wider open than usual.<\/p>\n
