The Whale

Go into this movie and just be in for the life of Charlie. I wanted to turn this movie off in the first hour - but it was worth the effort of growing attachment to Charlie and Ellie. The cast did a outstanding job of bringing this script to life. Once you get to the end - it felt like you just watched a piece of poetry reveal a masterpiece. I had to rewatch a few scenes for it to make since - but once you've done some thorough thinking, this movie is phenomenal. I could relate to this movie due to two things. I didn't have my father growing up so I could relate to the feeling of Ellie not having her dad. Yet I could relate to Charlie that I wish Ellie was my daughter now. Congratulations to Brendan Fraser for coming back to his acting career - and putting on an Oscar Winning performance as a 600lb man.

To make a movie all in one location and captivate the audience every step of the way is truely amazing. It’s a great display of acting, storytelling and cinematography all in one spot. It didn’t need all the bells and whistles, just Brendan Fraser and his acting chops. Best film i’ve seen in a while

Dude, the whale hurt me! 😭 I….. i.. I, I…….. don’t know what to say! It’s so emotionally thought provoking! If you need a movie to cry to. Then watch the movie please!

Such as brilliant, well written drama and the acting from Brendan Fraser and Sadie Sink is excellent

What an outstanding performance by Brendan Fraser. Not knowing what to expect from this movie his acting alone is good enough to carry the film.

Coming into this movie blind. I only had a faint idea of what to expect. All I knew was this was a film about a person who was overweight. Yet by the end of the movie, tears slid down my face like a rain shower. I realized that was just a product of what the film themes were. You had themes of religion, love, abandonment, stubbornness, neglect, vulnerability, and being closed off; it can go on. I think the film's overall skeleton was filled with ironic values of life and honesty. The understanding of the characters was so clear and so misunderstood. But to be honest, it can also be told in a sentence. “A life of love that only causes pain.”. I believe this film captures human nature than most films to date. Overall I think this film for me gave me a “New life”.

Tear jerker for sure .It's a Great Saturday or Sunday Afternoon Movie..Characters are totally fluid in empathy from me ( and audience)..your heart will go out to Charlie but definitely will understand the anger from Ellie ( his daughter)

A very good film that has a slow but constant pace. It is not an action movie at all but it is not boring either if you allow yourself into the story and the emotions the characters go through. I would give it a solid 8.8/10

This movie is dark and a real downer but the acting is superb. I thought Sadie Sink stole the show. Brendan Fraser is excellent. Definitely a movie where the acting performances are too good to not give a good rating.

I thought the movie was a beautiful masterpiece. It made me take a real insight on the life of a very sad man, but the only thing I don’t like about the movie was the ending. I wanted to know what happened to his daughter and how Charlie actually died.
