The Whale
The people are amazing. This infectious optimism is Charlie's superpower. He sees only the good in people, and he brings out the empathy in us. The nearly 300-pound lonely teacher, played by audience favorite Brendan Fraser, struggles to find his way back to his daughter Ellie (Sadie Sink). Under the weight of his own traumas, he struggles to cope with his past, shutting himself away in his apartment, dealing with stressful situations by overeating, but in the floor plan of his three-bedroom apartment, he is a beacon of goodness for himself and those around him. Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan) has directed a deeply human film about self-acceptance, with Fraser excelling in the acting comeback of the decade, picking up awards after awards.
