Review of The Squid and the Whale (2005) by Mohammed B — 26 Jul 2012
This is one of those indie flicks that make you realize the great magic of the independent movie industry. Unfortunately, art house productions aren't as popular as the tremendously expensive studio productions nowadays.
Nevertheless, sometimes those low budget indie pictures make us debate over their importance in our modern world. The Squid and the Whale won two much-deserved awards at the prestigious Sundance Festival.
The bright star of this movie is Jesse Eisenberg â?? this is the role that paved him a way to another great productions. Even though this flick isn't a no-brainer, but exactly the opposite, it can be understandable to anyone.
Especially, people, who had to go over by such a trauma, would feel that the portrayal is realistic in many various ways. Finally, I would like to recommend this movie to everyone as a reminder of the old times, when a low budget and lack of special effects didn't mean that the movie wouldn't be a hit.
A heartbreaking depiction of of the impact of a divorce, made with great passion.
