Review of The Whale (2022) by Calamityjay — 11 Dec 2022
This movie left me in awe at Brendan Fraser. The man completely disappeared into the role, and made me feel empathy for his 600lb. character. Give this man the Oscar! There are times where I pitied him, and other times I felt sorry for him.
The movie does a great job of creating a sense of hopefulness and joy in a depraved world. Hong Chau and Samantha Morton give great supporting performances. The setting makes you feel like you're with Brendan throughout most of the movie, and it helps to connect with you in a heartfelt way.
Sometimes, the movie is difficult to watch because of certain "scenes," but ultimately, it's a tragic story about a man living with the mistakes of his past and trying to push forward.
