Writer-director Noah Baumbach's quasi-autobiographical movie is one of the better scripts, and better executions of a complex script, in the last twenty years.

Featuring great performances by Jeff Daniels, Laura Linney, and Jesse Eisenberg, "The Squid and the Whale" remains memorable as a divorce-movie that combines dark comedy and heartfelt drama.

This video reviews "The Squid and the Whale." It also analyzes the movie's symbols, including the final shot of the actual squid-and-whale of the title.

All reasonable comments welcome, including reasoned disagreements. You will be banned for foolish talk, harassment, and hate speech on sight; it's a tremendous waste of life.
