The Whale

[AdApathy]

Released on 3rd February, Brendan Fraser plays Charlie, a 600lb recluse who tries to reconnect with his teenage daughter.

I went to go watch it on Saturday and it was a fantastic performance by Brendan Fraser. The other cast members were also great. I couldn't stop bawling my eyes towards the end and was one of the last ones to leave because I was struggling to compose myself! I think it is an absolute amazing comeback and I believe he received a 6 minute standing ovation at the Venice film festival. You can tell the role and doing justice to those in a similar situation means so much to him.

I actually went into it not knowing anything about it. I was expecting a chunky man who gained weight and all his friends got involved and he became some kind of excersise guru.

I was wrong.

I'm sorry but you just made me laugh, I'm not being rude or anything but the thought of THAT being the movie

Either that or his friends supporting him through weight loss surgery, going jogging together with ‘Don’t stop believing’ playing in the background.

I was traumatised.

Right, somebody make this damn movie.
