The Squid and the Whale





I've postponed watching this film for quite a while, my immediate thought was that it seemed kinda dull. It most certainly is not. It is a sad story about divorce and the effect it has upon children. I found it beautiful and very simple, to the point. Particularly the depiction of the heart-broken father (an immensely pretentious writer, beautifully played by Jeff Daniels) who decides to turn his oldest son against his ex-wife. The lovely Laura Linney (Driving Lessons) plays the mother, the children are played by Owen Kline and Jesse Eisenberg, and the film is directed by Noah Baumbach (The Fantastic Mr. Fox).
