The Brenaissance is in full swing and the Oscar is his for the taking. The Whale is a force of nature. An emotionally draining thriller from Darren Aronofsky boasting incredible performances and a gut wrenching narrative. Brendan Fraser plays Charlie, a 500 pound man, attempting to reconnect with his daughter over the course of a week in which his health rapidly declines. It'll make you cry, it just depends how MUCH it makes you cry. But goodness it's an incredible film and in a months time, the Oscar will be Brendan's. In cinemas now.
