   Is 'the whale' a better movie than 'the wrestler'?

   • It's not so hard to imagine a better film, though. The Whale is a kind of companion piece to the director's 2008 hit, The Wrestler (although, unusually for Aronofsky, he didn't write either of them), in that it involves a man with an estranged daughter, a heart condition, and a body he has pushed to painfully unhealthy extremes.

   Does the whale deserve a better movie?

   • But he also deserves a better movie to be doing such graceful work in. The Whale knows it has a dynamo at its core, yet still keeps trying to prove to you it’s a substantial, significant statement. It can’t stop itself from being crushed under its own symbolic and sensationalist weight.

   What struggles are happening in 'the whale'?

The movie struggles to balance the humanity and the horror of Charlie's story, and often undermines Fraser's efforts with a style that prioritizes shock over sensitivity.
