The Squid and the Whale
The parents of two young boys are getting a divorce. The two boys had a very difficult time to cope with the new joint custody life. What we see is a painful picture of a very dysfunctional family. I laughed with the film with sadness. I feel sympathy to the boys while I chucked with the lines popped out from their mouths. And I don't know I should laugh or cry when I see the little kid spread his semen on library books or drink whisky at home alone. The performance is really impressive from all the actors. But somehow I just don't feel like I am watching a comedy and it's actually like a tragedy. I wonder if that little kid will grow up ok. I doubt it though. My rating: 7 out of 10. |
