I cried my eyes out watching The Whale. I really felt that Charlie was not only eating to fill the chasm of grief he was enduring but was also eating for his lost love who was so terribly thin when he died. Broke my heart. Kudos to Brendan for his unbelievable performance and his exquisite talent.

Brendan and Hong what a great performance, love everytime she delivers her lines, she should win for supporting actor

[LFCLIFEJEDI]

I can honestly say I haven't been this excited to watch a film for years.

[jeremy.nudell]

This was one of the most profound movies I’ve ever seen and impacted me deeply

Sadie is just so talented she’s so mature and well spoken she’s going places

[Migzter]

Everyone in this movie was phenomenal. Obviously Brendan Fraser is the best, but his supporting cast also really brought something special to the overall message of the story.

Seeing his raw emotion at the end of trailer 2 has gotten me so excited to see this

[aussiebushhomestead]

Wonderful to see Brendon Fraser back on screen.

BRENDAN IS BACK! and life is more beautiful for that

[jessicahanson]

I watched this movie for the second time last night..Cried just as hard as the first time..

[guymercier]

I was totally taken by this movie... Brendan Fraser is totally Charlie we totally believe he is, and the other actors are stunning good... I was not moved by a movie in a long, long time like this movie did to me... For anyone having lived a depression will understand... really, really beautiful movie.

I don’t know if anyone noticed this but during the entire movie the weather was either cloudy or raining. At the end of the movie when Charlie is about to die it’s nice sunny and warm.

[JordyBoothy]

I finally got to watch this. Broke me. Amazing work, everyone!

[callumheatherly]

I just finished watching it, and yh he deserved an award

[SujoyBanerjee]

Brenden deserve the love. Keep it pouring.

[marilynful]

Just watched the movie, because I know there are a lot of people in the same situation. Imprisoned in their own home because they can’t move and just suffer until they die. I know it’s not what the movie was about but loved the whole story. He deserved that Oscar and hope to see him do more before he gets too old. He has a lot to give.

I went to go see alone this movie when it was released- was in a small theater about 1/4 fillled... and once the credits rolled (you'll know if you've seen it), I balled my eyes out. I balled and then was self-conscious because the rest of the audience got up and left and so I tried to hold my tears back. I felt very different on the way back to my car. I felt that something was taken from me. For the next couple of days I felt that emptiness... but couldn't place it. All I felt was something had been taken. During that time I felt thanks for the film, but really upset that it took "that" from me. I still don't know if "that" was ever taken or replaced, but I'm okay now :) and I love Aronofsky and Brendan so much.

[MayerClassicTheater]

I just love this movie. Thank you Brendan Fraser!

[ziviar]

in this film you can see how a person is dying. Personally I have a grief of different kind. My mom died from cancer a year ago, but you can feel how a child doesn't want to say goodbye to his parent. When there is no turnaround and life seems to end it is so fucking hard to keep on track.

But the end of this film is that beautiful and honest that I cannot hold my tears. Beautiful performance and painful at the same time.

Because that's how life works: a beautiful and painful experience.

I just finished the movie, in utter tears WITH covid, so this wasn't a good time to watch this. I'm just broken hearted and had to watch the interview to make sure he was truly still alive. 💔
