The Whale is a movie that demands A LOT from its audience. It demands your sympathy, your time, and your patience. It feels pointless to give praise to Brendan for his performance. He kills it. He yells and stretches out his arm and rips your heart out. The rest of the cast does a good job. The script is pretty decent, but not every line is perfect or great.

The other technical aspects all work together in a powerful way, but I wasn't crazy about the way the movie ended, personally. I felt like I missed something, and the artist choices made ar the end felt a wee bit overdramatic.

Some people are gonna love this one. I thought it was pretty good with an amazing performance at the center.

I watched Inside Job because it was endorsed and produced by Alex Hirsch, the creator of Gravity Falls. GF is one of my favorite shows of all time, and this show definitely carried over some of that show's energy.

I think this show is being judged too harshly, but it definitely has flaws. I would like to talk about the positive aspects.

Of course, the best character in the show is Raegan. She's a very complex, interesting, and likeable character who changes and evolves. If the show didn't have Raegan, it wouldn't be great.

The show gets better as it goes along, to the point of being very emotional and powerful by the end of the second season.

Give it a chance!

I have seen many war films (Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket, Paths of Glory, etc.) and this is the most visually stunning. The cinematography is mind-blowing, and the music adds so much to the experience.

This movie is also extremely brutal. The violence is almost non-stop, and when the film does give you, and the characters, time to breathe, you know it's going to be short-lived.

Without spoiling anything, the ending is as close to perfect as you can get with a movie like this. The message of the movie is conveyed not by words, but by images, giving the movie a truly timeless feel that transcends language.

In short, give this movie your time and attention. It deserves it.
