About this product

Product Information

Noah Baumbach's THE SQUID AND THE WHALE is an excruciatingly humane, often hilarious portrait of a disintegrating family in mid-1980s Brooklyn. Set in the stately yet off-kilter neighborhood of Park Slope, the film tells the story of the Berkmans, a quintessentially New York family struggling to keep things together. Family patriarch Bernard (Jeff Daniels) is a published author and writing teacher whose insecurity over his own lack of recognition continues to plague him. Meanwhile, his wife, Joan (Laura Linney), is grappling with her own sense of unsettlement. Their sons, who are caught in the crossfire, express their confusion in different ways: 16-year-old Walt (Jesse Eisenberg) tries to pass off Pink Floyd's "Hey You" as his own hit in the school talent show, while his 12-year-old brother Frank (Owen Kline) begins to explore his burgeoning sexuality and alcoholism. When Bernard and Joan finally decide to separate, the family must confront their unraveling situation head on.Rarely has family dysfunction been captured so frankly and honestly as in THE SQUID AND THE WHALE. Baumbach claims his film is only semi-autobiographical, but, from the pitch-perfect writing and nostalgic tone, it feels as if we're watching home videos of the writer-director's past. Featuring an outstanding pop-music soundtrack (Bert Jansch, the Feelies, Lou Reed), the film also boasts performances that seem certain to earn end-of-the-year accolades.

    Agatha Christie has given us another Noir adventure. These stories are less known than some of her tales likeThen There Were None , Death on The Nile, Murder On The Orient Express, BUT THEY are equally brilliant. The discs and Case are brand new and perfect. Everything was as advertised. Shipping was very rapid. This is a GREAT seller who I will buy from again.

    Spot On

    I really didn't know much about this movie when I got it except that is was semi-autobiographical. But after seeing it I think it is a spot on depiction of family life and divorce in the 1980's. Good acting overall and Jeff Daniels is so good he made me cringe as he went through his emotional arc.

    A bit obvious; a bit as different as the title suggests

    If you don't like off color language, you won't like this movie. If you see such language as part of life, you will love this movie. the characters are interesting, the story true to life.
