Throughout his life Edward Bloom has always been a man of big appetites, enormous passions and tall tales. In his later years, he remains a huge mystery to his son, William. Now, to get to know the real man, Will begins piecing together a true picture of his father from flashbacks of his amazing adventures.
Editor's Verdict
"Big Fish is a celebrated fantasy drama known for its exploration of storytelling and father-son relationships. While it was released during the holiday season (a common tactic for prestige films), the actual narrative content—Edward Bloom's life story—contains virtually no explicit Christmas elements regarding setting, plot significance, or thematic focus."
