Passion Fish plot

Spoiled TV star Mary-Alice is paralyzed up to her waist after an accident. Embittered, she retreats to the abandoned family home in Louisiana. Her evil behavior drives all the nurses out the door until the stubborn black Chantelle shows up. The initial aversion that both women harbor for each other eventually turns into sympathy and close friendship.

Beautiful drama in which a difficult beginning friendship between two women is central. Few surprises and certainly not sentimental. The story is told in peace and partly because of that the playing time is on the long side. Despite that, the film does not have a weak moment. The acting is also good and Mary McDonnell in particular can enjoy herself in her role.

Powerful character study of two damaged women, more or less condemned to each other by fate in swampy southern Louisiana. The one full of resentment and self-pity, the other somewhat exhausted but still strong-willed. Nice to see how these different personalities gradually grow together. A beautiful, personal film by John Sayles, which earned Mary McDonnell an Oscar nomination. Strange that Alfre Woodard was not nominated, because he is certainly not inferior to McDonnell.
