The Whale (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Udita Jhunjhunwala Livemint Charlie [is] played brilliantly by Brendan Fraser... Jun 2, 2023 Full Review The Whale (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Jenny Nulf Austin Chronicle There’s nothing consciously sinister about THE WHALE’s use of Charlie’s eating disorder (the original play was, in fact, written from experience), but Aronofsky’s adaptation is cruel, not just to Charlie’s character, but to all of them. Rated: 2/5 Feb 21, 2023 Full Review The Whale (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Wenlei Ma News.com.au It’s such a heavy-handed approach that The Whale’s extremity risks alienating the audience from the intention. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 6, 2023 Full Review The Whale (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views “The Whale” works because Fraser, particularly his eyes and voice, and the rest of the cast deliver performances that imbue their two-dimensional characters with enough presence and emotion that they feel three dimensional. Jun 8, 2024 Full Review The Whale (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Soham Gadre Vague Visages Fraser keeps Charlie’s fully formed humanity at the forefront of The Whale, despite various filmmaking decisions that could flatten his character into a saccharine pity case. Jan 9, 2024 Full Review The Whale (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Prabhjot Bains Tilt Magazine It’s Aronofsky’s most blunt and uninspired work yet— an indulgent and strident slice of misery p*rn that rides a wave of unearned emotion to its underwhelming conclusion.
