The Whale is a gripping drama featuring a phenomenal comeback from actor Brendan Fraser (The Mummy Trilogy, Crash) as a father trying to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter, played by rising star Sadie Sink (Stranger Things).

Oscar-nominated director Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream) paints a moving portrait of a man who wants to redefine his life. Charlie (Brendan Fraser) lives a secluded life and teaches English online. He is seriously overweight and seems to have lost everything in his life. Still, full of hope, Charlie tries to reconnect with his 17-year-old daughter Ellie (Sadie Sink). But he blames him for abandoning his family.

We slowly discover how Charlie became the man we see, and how he still hopes to be a father to Ellie. The Whale is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Aronofsky makes you part of a life that you want to look away from, but that moves you to tears.
