Angelfish Screening - TIFF Next Wave 2020

  • TIFF Bell Lightbox 350 King Street West Toronto, ON, M6K 1H7 Canada (map)

Set in the Bronx in 1993, Angelfish follows the unexpected relationship between self-sufficient high-school dropout Brendan (Jimi Stanton) and Eva (Princess Nokia), a family-oriented, college-bound girl from Puerto Rico who dreams of becoming an actor and also creating a stable life for her loved ones. Despite their very different backgrounds, the two connect organically and work together to make a life for each other. Director Peter Lee captures all the moments — big and small — that make Eva and Brendan’s relationship so special. Princess Nokia’s presence on screen is magnetic and the chemistry between the two actors truly transports you. Watching this young couple discover themselves and one another is an all-consuming experience that will make you feel mushy for all the right reasons.
