„A unique film on family and the meaning and value of memories, „A Fish Out of Water“ takes the viewer to a special place on the border of the familiar and the supernatural, and describes with grace and insight the inner workings of its protagonists, framed within an accurate portrayal of family dynamics.“ – Giovanna Fulvi, Toronto Film Festival
