Critics Reviews

Udita Jhunjhunwala Livemint Charlie [is] played brilliantly by Brendan Fraser... Jun 2, 2023 Full Review Jenny Nulf Austin Chronicle There’s nothing consciously sinister about THE WHALE’s use of Charlie’s eating disorder (the original play was, in fact, written from experience), but Aronofsky’s adaptation is cruel, not just to Charlie’s character, but to all of them. Rated: 2/5 Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au It’s such a heavy-handed approach that The Whale’s extremity risks alienating the audience from the intention. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 6, 2023 Full Review Soham Gadre Vague Visages Fraser keeps Charlie’s fully formed humanity at the forefront of The Whale, despite various filmmaking decisions that could flatten his character into a saccharine pity case. Jan 9, 2024 Full Review Prabhjot Bains Tilt Magazine It’s Aronofsky’s most blunt and uninspired work yet— an indulgent and strident slice of misery p*rn that rides a wave of unearned emotion to its underwhelming conclusion. Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Christian Eulinberg InSession Film If I were to describe this film in one word, it would be melancholy; it is practically flawless, at least in my opinion, and conveys the notion that people are inherently kind...
