“These assignments don’t matter. This course doesn’t matter. College doesn’t matter. These amazing, honest things that you wrote, they matter.” Do yourself a favor and watch this film.

I was not the only one sobbing in the theater. Anyone who claims this film "lacks empathy", "leers and ogles in disgust", or is "fatphobic" is simply betraying their own lack of empathy.

Brendan Fraser gives his all in this heartbreaking performance, a sublime control over his eyes with the ability to demonstrate pure kindness. I couldn't help it, I was immediately moved by his character and when Sadie Sink's character comes in it's where the magic happens. A clash between teen angst and fatherly love, ***The Whale*** explores themes of family, faith and honesty. A look at morbid obesity which felt crude and touching but I have to say some scenes felt purposefully comedic?? Every character interactions from the support cast felt meaningfull and elevated Charlie's character. Great performances, claustrophobic setting, peak father daughter drama and I swear I could smell that appartment. The ending might feel over-the-top for some but i'm on board with it. I got emotional in the last 15 minutes or so, felt cathartic and dug out my empathy.

Not amazing, but I enjoyed it. The performances were excellent, and they were more than enough for me to rate this favourably.

what i find truly beautiful about this movie is the way every single character shares the same exact view of themselves.

all of them believe that they are broken people, and there is no way of fixing themselves, that they are "past redemption"

yet, each and everyone of them expresses it in a dif More

The Whale is a heart breaking story of our main character, Charlie (Brendon Fraser), as he tries to make amends for abandoning his daughter. Charlie is obese, an ailment that has manifested itself as a coping mechanism for a life of regret. In every scene and interaction this regret is worn by Charl More

I doubt I can add much more to what has already been said about 'The Whale', but in a word: Bravo!

Brendan Fraser truly is sensational in this role. I heard about all the acclaim and seen a few of the standing ovations he has received and all I can say is that it is unequivocally deserved. Truly More
