SPOILER.
Again, any one or two of those occurrences in "Fish Tank," would strain credulity. All of them boggles. The part about taking the kid to the river really is contrived, especially considering the life-saving thing. Like I said, I'll see it because of its awards, but I'll be surprised if it can overcome such over-theatrical writing.
As far as the superb Kane, though it pains me to have to mention it in the same post, it is about childhood trauma and its impact on a life (and also about a lot more....). Hardly melodramatic or contrived. It would be hard to find a child so separated from loved one(s) that wasn't traumatized.
Anyhow, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
