This is basically a Fandom Secret not worthy of escaping the comments section, LOL.

I watched "The Whale" last weekend and felt it did NOT deserve all the hype. Yeah I'm happy for Brendan Fraser that he got some critical acclaim and fancy awards out of it, but the characters were unlikable, (not in an entertaining way), the dialogue was trite, the symbolism was ham-handed, and during what were supposed to be the most dramatic moments, the acting was hysterical and a mile over the top.

I feel kinda guilty for my reaction, but I was expecting more. Maybe it worked better as a stage play. /shrug

I haven’t watched it because friends who generally like the same things I do said pretty much the same thing you did. But I also kinda expect any movie that gets tons of award buzz to be overblown or just not my vibe.

Yeah, it sounded unwatchable to me, though I am happy for him as well. I just can't help but wish his big comeback and deserved acclaim had come over something... enjoyable?

I watched it last week too and it wasn't as great as everybody said it was. Same reaction as you: happy for Brendan Fraser and all that; welcome back to the forefront, Brendan.

I'm happy for Brendan Fraser, but it didn't look like my cup of tea and I wasn't ever going to watch it. That said, it's fairly common for actors to get major kudos for roles where they deviate from the usual Hollywood standard of beauty. It's like my gosh, you were sooooo brave and talented to dare to look fugly on the big screen, good for you!
