Subject: The Squid and the Whale (Noah Baumbach)...

Written By: Davester on 07/10/08 at 8:04 pm


  Anyone watch..?

  The Squid and the Whale is named after a diorama at the New York Museum if Natural History.  First rate flick and the best Jeff Daniels performance I've seen...

  In a nutshell it's a look at a disintigrating family (divorce) in Park Slope, Brooklyn circa 1986...

  Jeff Daniels, in full beard, as the father, Bernard... 
  The beautiful Laura Linney as the mother, Joan... 
  Owen Kline as their 12 year old son, Frank (Owen Kline is the son of Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates)...
  Jesse Eisenberg as Walt, their 16 year old son...

  The parents are divorcing.  Their kids reaction is bizarre, disturbing actually, especially the younger one...

I remember when this came to theatres, I thought it looked interesting.  Never got a chance to see it though.  I like Laura Linney's films
