From our review:

It’s basically a get-out-the-horny-vote workout, attempting to convince individuals that appreciate pornography to toss their political assistance behind individuals that make it.

Newly produced as an Oscar champion (Brendan Fraser for Best Actor; Best Makeup and also Hairstyling), The Whale is currently offered for a lowered rental rate.

From our review:

In The Whale, Aronofsky presumes his sadism as an intellectual experiment, testing customers to locate the humankind hidden under Charlie’s thick layers of fat. That’s not as humane of a facility as he appears to believe it is. It follows the presumption that a 600-pound guy is naturally unlovable. It’s like approaching a complete stranger on the road and also stating, “You’re an abomination, but I love you anyway,” in maintaining with the solid stress of vain Christianity that the movie professes to review. Audience participants reach leave pleased with themselves that they lost a couple of rips for this horrible whale, while obtaining no brand-new understanding right into what it’s really like to be that whale. That’s not compassion. That’s pity, hidden under a thick, surrounding layer of ridicule.
