The Whale

A reclusive English teacher living with severe obesity attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter for one last chance at redemption. As he makes a last bold attempt to reconcile with his broken family, Charlie must confront, with his full heart and fierce wit, long-buried traumas and unspoken love that have haunted him for decades. From director Darren Aronofsky, starring Brendan Fraser and based on the acclaimed play by Samuel D. Hunter.

Critic Reviews:

• " Aronofsky offers an honest and authentic portrait of a man struggling to come to terms with his past and move forward, but he does so seemingly without knowing what message Charlie’s story is supposed to impart… " – Beth McMillan (Starburst)

• " Ultimately we come away from “The Whale” warmed by the openness of heart and spirit Fraser brings to it. " – Rob Gonsalves (Rob's Movie Vault)

• " The Whale is set leveling the rawness of human sadness with practice sympathy and forgiveness. " – Annie Banks (Chuck Load of Comics)
