The Whale (2022)
Classic case of the emperors new clothes.

What a load of pretentious drivel. Poorly made, boring, self indulgent, dull, nasty, whiney, annoying, wallowing, vacuous and depressing trash. I'd rather punch myself in the nuts for 2 hours than watch it again.

Fraser is great but the writing is hollow and obvious. The direction is local drama school level at best.
It hurts to see so much praise lavished at this stinking pile of offal.
It's not like I wanted a happy end to the film but it really had no emotion weight. I cry at lots of films and this just left me bereft of any kind of emotional engagement. All the characters are just awful. All blaming something lazily for their own downfalls in a one dimensional way.
