the squid and the whale

We watched this movie last night. I have to say that I really liked it. I think Brian did, too. It was very engrossing and realistic. It told the story of a husband and wife that divorced and the effects that the separation and divorce had on them and their two sons. On one hand, I didn’t like how it ended. But, on the other hand, this wasn’t the sort of story you could just wrap up.

It was billed as a ‘dramedy’, so it wasn’t entirely depressing. None of the characters were likeable so that helped, too. It wasn’t so much the story that was good, but the way it was told. The acting was superb. It was definitely the best role I’ve seen Jeff Daniels in.

Highly recommended.
