The Whale 2022

This has been on my list since it first started gaining award attention (117 nominations, 44 awards, including two Oscars) . Brendon Fraser has always been a draw for me since his early work and it is easy to see this is his best work ever (deserving his Oscar). I put off watching this because I knew it was going to be a hard movie to watch. The acting is superb by all 7 actors (4 primary, 3 supporting). The writing is good. This movie deserves a high rating, but my system says anything 8 or over are worthy of multiple watches, and I know I will never watch this movie again. It is too heart wrenching to watch the suffering. I give the film a high 7 (exceptional) but on any other metric it probably deserves an 8 (great) or 9 (profoundly moving) out of 10. [Drama].
