Review of The Ghost and the Whale (2014) by Gary B — 28 May 2016
We were fortunate to have this extraordinary film at the 2015 Monadnock International Film Festival in NH. The Gaudioso Twins, James and Anthony have much to be proud of for bringing this multi-dimensional film to the big screen.
Maurice Benard is outstanding playing the complex role of Joseph...a troubled soul grieving over the loss of his wife and fighting his own demons both internally and externally. Maurice is surrounded by a talented and well cast group of characters who take you on this roller coaster ride.
Set in a small coastal town the story unfolds with a series of emotional twists and turns forged with intrigue and adventure, love and loss, and an ultimate discovery that grips the audience and leaves you with feelings of relief and regret as the credits roll.
Great film and a touching reminder that we are surrounded by people who are dealing with personal tragedy and grief who are in need of a little compassion...before it's too late.
