Synopsis

Charlie is an English teacher living with severe obesity. As he feels his time is running out, he makes a last bold attempt to reconcile with his broken family. Soon, Charlie must confront, with his full heart and fierce wit, long-buried traumas and unspoken love that have haunted him for decades.

Our take

A resurgent Brendan Fraser gives an astonishing, Oscar®-winning performance in this heart-wrenching tale of grace and redemption from director Darren Aronofsky. With remarkable support from Hong Chau (also Oscar®-nominated), The Whale is a profoundly empathetic parable of regret and empowerment.
