   Dec 9, 2022 · 5 min read. “The Whale” is an abhorrent film, but it also features excellent performances. It gawks at the grotesquerie of its central figure beneath the guise of sentimentality, but it also offers sharp exchanges between its characters that ring with bracing honesty.

The message “The Whale” sends us home with seems to be: Thank God that’s not us.
