Eimear, Karine, Camille, and I watched the Squid and the Whale. And no, the movie is not a documentary about squids and whales. However, you will undoubtedly understand the origination of the title at the end of the movie. I mostly enjoyed the movie but do find certain parts a little disturbing. The central theme of the movie mostly revolves around the 2 children whose lives were dramatically disrupted with the separation of their parents. There is one technical flaw in the movie that pesters me a lot. The movie is set in 1986; yet I kept seeing the modern versions of Subaru Outlook and other car models in the movie. I attribute this to the film's low budget. So it is no big deal. Overall, I like the movie. I give it a 7.5 out 10 rating.
