On the surface, The Whale can come off as a fairly simple film. Possibly one we have all seen before in our lifetime. However, this film is quite different than you'd think. When you break it down, we follow a man who the film presents in two ways. The hero, and the villain.
The master performances from Fraser, Sink, Chau, Simpkins, and Morton bring so much depth and personality to the film. The beautiful, yet haunting score, the gorgeous claustrophobic cinematography all further encapsulates you in this brutal story of redmeption, and self-struggle. Making the point clearly that nobody is perfect. We all have that heroism in us, as well as a darker villainous part. People have issues and torments that live with them that they can't shake off. The fact this film captured that in such a different and unique way, the film managed to completely moved me like no other film this year.
When you get the chance, please see this film.
