Go Fish is a 1994 lesbian-themed independent drama film. Directed and co-written (with her then-girlfriend Guinevere Turner) by Rose Troche, the film tells the story of the interrelationships of a small group of friends. The narrative is broken up by a number of discussions on lesbian issues, dream sequences, commentary that breaks the fourth wall and moments of free verse poetry. Go Fish was part of a wave of LGBT-themed films that appeared in the mid-1990s.
An unexpected inheritance from her grandmother pushes Abbey Marlin to move from Los Angeles to start a new life, alone in New York. This life altering decision triggers the deconstruction of a close-knit group of life-long friends. A true character study unfolds as each learn the art of self-reliance, allowing fate and courage to question the direction in life taken, the relationships fought to keep, and those left behind for the sake of progress.
