“These assignments don’t matter. This course doesn’t matter. College doesn’t matter. These amazing, honest things that you wrote, they matter.” Do yourself a favor and watch this film.

This is torture on another level...I mean, for me, not bredan. As an empath, this was a difficult watch, the ending at least. I'm so happy for the whole cast. The acting was definitely oscar worthy. The soundtrack as well as the ratio and the set and dialogue and the story ugh I could go on for days.

I was not the only one sobbing in the theater. Anyone who claims this film "lacks empathy", "leers and ogles in disgust", or is "fatphobic" is simply betraying their own lack of empathy.

Everyone's talking about Brendan Fraser, but Hong Chau and Sadie Sink are equally incredible here. This movie would not work without them. Definitely not an easy watch. If you're anything like me, make sure to have a box of tissues handy.

I doubt I can add much more to what has already been said about 'The Whale', but in a word: Bravo!

Brendan Fraser truly is sensational in this role. I heard about all the acclaim and seen a few of the standing ovations he has received and all I can say is that it is unequivocally deserved. Truly More
