"The Whale" evokes strong emotions with powerful performances, especially from Fraser. Some found it moving and beautifully sad, while others were disappointed, citing weaker supporting cast performances and preferring Aronofsky's "The Wrestler." The film's minimalistic scenery emphasizes its impactful script.
I fucking loved this film. I watched it in the cinema and was instantly my new favourite favourite overtaking the Departed. Beautiful, Moving, and Pretty sad.
Broke my heart. Cried so hard on the plane…
Powerful, reflective, a very strong and touching movie, which was adapted from a play. The scenery and all the editing in the movie keep this minimal aspect of the scenery, just like in a play. This puts all the emphasis on the performances, and what sensational performances they are, the dedication to the characters is spectacular. This is a movie with a very impactful script that leaves a mark on the soul.
