The Squid and the Whale Movie Review
“I did everything I could to save this marriage,” protests self-absorbed writer Bernard Berkman (Daniels). “I made burgers that time you had pneumonia!”
A low-key comedy about a couple going through divorce may not sound like the stuff of cinematic magic, but with its spot-on character observation and sardonic wit The Squid and the Whale is an unexpected delight.
The setting is leafy Brooklyn, 1986. Portentous, impressively-bearded writer Bernard (Daniels) and his weary wife Joan (Linney) gather their two sons in the living room and make the unexpected announcement – they’re going to separate. From then on it’s an emotional tug-of-war between the parents (albeit one hidden behind a façade of reason) as they attempt to win over their children in clumsy ways. Amy addresses the children with inappropriate candour about her sex life both past and present, while Bernard feeds the children revelations about their mother to secure their sympathies. Sixteen-year-old Walt (Eisenberg) instinctively sides with his father as he trots out Bernard’s fatuous philosophies on life and literature to impress girls (summing up Kafka’s Metamorphosis – which he hasn’t read – as “Kafka-esque”). Younger son Frank (Kline) reacts to the split with quiet trauma, locking himself away to guzzle alcohol and going on to er, smear semen around his school.
