The Ghost and the Whale (2017)
Solid Film
At it's core, a well made film by clearly thoughtful filmmakers. There is a coherent journey told in this movie. Beyond the layers, lies a secret within the town that seems to tear at the inhabitants, almost immediately. We are led by an ivy league, know it all, pursuant of what he deems, 'his' story - at any cost.
A vindictive family intersects with the co-tagonist right off the bat, which makes for fireworks because the actors who play the family as well as the journalist are sensational. Maurice Benards character is interesting. He plays a man-apart, not terribly dissimilar from his character on TV, but leagues deeper and more profoundly vulnerable. An inspiring performance from a life-long vet.
This one gets my approval. It's a thrilling, fun and well told story by the Gaudioso Twins & co.
An Indie film with merit!
