Maggie? Rainbow? Leeward and Mary cannot even agree on their three year old daughter's name anymore. Mary is a hardworking nurse who dreams of only one thing: changing her life. She resents her husband for being an irresponsible, overgrown adolescent, incapable of holding down a job. Leeward is an atypical, idealistic musician who fancies himself a misunderstood artist and a New Age visionary. Enter Lilas, a 19 year old French artist and the daughter of a world famous painter, who is trying to make it in New York and get away from an overbearing mother. When the bubbly young woman moves into the couple's tiny Chinatown apartment, their already fragile balance is upset even further. Between surrealism, unusual characters, art and magic tricks, Swim Little Fish Swim is a dreamlike journey from childhood to adulthood.@
艺术家成了某种逃避现实，逃避责任的身份。导演很明显借莉拉申请签证时的对话讽刺了某些所谓艺术家，签证官说你要有公开展览的证明我才能给你延期，而不是你说自己是艺术家就可以。李伍德就是那个所谓艺术家，巨婴，没有责任感，最多只能说有些艺术才华，而远非艺术家。莉拉确实还可以，最后五分钟，李伍德在无聊闲逛，莉拉在失意中展示了她的影像创作，也是全片最艺术的部分了。
粗制滥造的剪辑 剧情一般 思考男人梦想和家庭责任的关系
片尾曲好好听
都不知道玛丽为什么要嫁给他老公，无语
