I, 99% of the time, don't like IGN's reviews, but this one for The Whale is surprisingly personal...and actually great!

I've been wanting to see this, regardless of reviews.

I'd like to see Brendan Fraser make a comeback. He seems like he would make a great character actor.

 

Reading that review, it kinda makes me think that it may be similar to The Wrestler, but instead of a washed-up drugged-up old wrestler, its another type of person who has a debilitating issue with their body. And they're both trying to make it right with their daughter.

I thought the exact same thing, regarding the wrestler and Brendan’s return.

Brendan one of the nicest guys in Hollywood. Heard this got a long standing ovation when it premiered at film festival. Can’t wait to watch.
