The Whale
We were delighted to previously screen this film but we have no current plans to screen it again. If you'd like to watch it in the cinema, consider a private hire to watch it with friends. That does rely on the film being available for private purchase.

A reclusive English teacher attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter.
Fraser, so good, takes what could be a joke, a flat tragedy, or even a lecture about weight and imbues it with gorgeous humanity.
★★★★
[The Whale] is stagy and mawkish. Watching it, you feel grossly manipulated but the approach is undeniably effective.
★★★★
Sometimes an actor can help minimize a director’s shortcomings, and that’s what Fraser does here.
★★★★
