Brendan Fraser in The Whale (2022)

Review by bogota909

The Whale

7/10

Brandon Fraser did amazing job but movie a remake of the Wrestler

I came to see bcuz his performance was mentioned that it was a oscar worthy performance and the movie was great.

The story line was so a exact blue print of the wrestler 2008 with micky Rourke film was Okay but not well written...the performance brandon did was great! He nailed it, a simple story life of a obese gentleman dealing with depression and self load, that is trying to save his daughter from the self torture and agony of not having a dad. The narrative was okay with a poor ending, that should have been more realistic, instead it came off like a Disney finally, I would have loved the movie much more if the story line was stronger with inspirational ending, sadly it didn't. It made me think thrue the whole movie is why are they letting him eat so much, why isn't he trying to get healthier atleast a valid attempt. With that being said, I'm glad to see Brandon Frasier officially make a comeback with a phenomenal performance 👏 best acting in his career.
