The Whale

Interesting characters

One of the best movies I've seen in a while. Brendan Fraser gives on of the best performances I've ever seen. It seemed like he was not acting at all, but living the character. The movie gets better as it goes along and the best part is the ending. Highly recommended to all!!! Can't wait for Aronofsky's next...

Probably the best movie I've ever watched. The screenplay is beautifully written.

Finding out that this movie had originally been a play was not at all surprising to me, as it feels very self-contained and built for an audience to witness a journey in the span of one house. The story follows a morbidly obese man as the audience tries to understand his past, why he is the way he is in the present, and why he insists upon a dwindling future. Sadie Sink compliments Brendan Fraser’s outstanding performance as he brings himself to the reasonings as to why he is even alive, and his value on honesty. The film is tragic, heartfelt, and portrayed beautifully for its entire runtime, yet so horribly painful to watch. The filmmakers, the actors, the cinematographers, and everything beyond and between collaborated to show you a modern-day Greek Tragedy.

The film has a terrible, depressing script, with ugly and bad-tempered people.

Más de una hora esperando que pasara algo interesante. Un bodrio.

A very hard to watch but powerful movie with lots of drama and emotions. Darren Aronofsky's great direction and Brendan Fraser's incredible performance make this film worth watching.

Una película sencillamente fascinante, que si bien no es muy eficiente, te cuenta la historia de como un padre intenta llegar a su hija adolescente teniendo un desenlace muy conmovedor simbolizando como Charlie siente un amor inmenso, también recalcando la autenticidad de cada persona demostrando asi como uno debe ser realmente. Una persona auténtica.

Good story good acting The Whale is very simple close to people kind of story. Let's not forget that it's a unique story too. (We're sick of affairs, detectives and cliché love stories in term of drama). The acting of the Whale is superior no questions asked. What I take from the Whale is the artistic reflection of the movie. I think it was the only but fatal down side of the movie. The Whale could've end up like a great movie just like 1917 or Se7en , but it ended up much less, I feel it was because of the creativity or vision of the director was not strong enough.

As touching and incredibly well-played as it was, I still felt that every conflict and every dialogue was kind of overdramatic. Still a great movie, though.
