unlabelledView post →In the decade since his debut film, Noah Baumbach never found his footing. In 2005, The Squid And The Whale turned it all around for him.
unlabelledView post →oops the specific movie is The Squid and the Whale. checks out
unlabelledView post →Any movie can be a date movie, even The Squid and the Whale (ask me how I know)
unlabelledView post →150. The Squid and the Whale (2005 film) While I can't relate to the specifics of the story the general feeling of dealing with divorce is something that very much resonates with me. Jesse Eisenberg's character growing to be disillusioned with his father also hits close to home for me personally
unlabelledView post →I wrote up Kung Fu Hustle, War Of The Worlds, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Squid And The Whale, The Holy Girl, Caché, and Howl’s Moving Castle! I also got to watch Caché for the first time...that movie is so good
unlabelledView post →“The Squid and the Whale” was a great film, but I find it really hard to believe that over 99% of an entire school didn’t realise that a student was blatantly plagiarizing a song from one of the best-selling albums in music history.
unlabelledView post →Episode 8! Rob begins Matt's found footage education with Lake Mungo (2008), and Matt attempts once again to make Rob empathise with some middle-class people in The Squid and the Whale (2005). All likes, shares, and clicks very much appreciated! #horrorsky #filmsky sites.libsyn.com/621740/episo...
unlabelledView post →I love the Squid and the Whale so much. 1/ I lived in that Brooklyn neighborhood for years, 2/ (bragging!), my daughter was in a movie with Laura Linney when she was about six months old, 3/ phenomenal acting, 4/ captures dysfunctional families brilliantly
unlabelledView post →> “…I’m not a bad actress,” she told *[Elle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gv7Pdvj5V8E)* during their drinking game ‘**Thirst Trap**’. “I’ve just done some projects that don’t showcase me in the way that I should be showcased. Okay? Uhhh okay… I’ll write off the rando part / nude scene in True Detective… or the riveting performance in San Andreas… …or how she played “pretty girl” in the Squid and the Whale… or how she knocked it out of the park as “girlfriend” in the Jonas Brothers 3d…

unlabelledView post →Every Noah Baumbach Movie, Ranked: www.metacritic.com/pictures/mov... #11pmspecial #3 - The Squid and the Whale [82] - "Acutely observed, faultlessly acted, graced with piercing emotion and unsparing honesty, it will make you laugh because you can't bear to cry." - Ken Turan, LA Times
unlabelledView post →Makes me think of the movie The Squid and the Whale. Like, the dad in the movie would absolutely think it was profound.
unlabelledView post →Baumbach also has another film on how cruel spouses can get when divorcing, and especially how their enmity impacts children. The Squid and the Whale is like an evil version of Marriage Story. The latter is about legal custody, but the former is more about parents being vindictive and immature.
unlabelledView post →My mother texted me about The Squid and the Whale, a movie I've hated for 20 years and it's like I was waiting for this moment.
unlabelledView post →More than any one film, the sad news about David Lynch has reminded me of the scene in ‘The Squid and the Whale’ where Jeff Daniels takes Jesse Eisenberg and his date to see ‘Blue Velvet.’ Like Eisenberg, my (undivorced) dad introduced me to Lynch’s films and probably took me to the Baumbach as well
unlabelledView post →#Criterion Collection Crawl - Spine #845 The Squid and the Whale We just watched this unpleasant little movie which depicts a family's slow disintegration, with all of them--mom, dad and kids--acting out in different disturbing ways. It was hard to care about any of them.
unlabelledView post →Does anyone remember the film The Squid and the Whale? It came out when I worked at a video store. I’m rewatching it right now and I don’t remember it being this… awkward?
unlabelledView post →The subway trains in The Squid and the Whale were not the kind they had in the era in which the film was set. Also, they played Mozart’s Requiem over the end of Elizabeth, which made me livid as both a Mozart fan and a Tudor geek.
unlabelledView post →I've never seen this movie, so I don't know what famous song is or is not sung, unless the song is also called "_The Squid and the Whale_", in which case I've never heard of that song.
unlabelledView post →Watch the Squid and the Whale, movie that introduced me to her ❤️
unlabelledView post →Jesse Eisenberg doesn’t age but gets more geeky and I have not been able to stop being a fan since The Squid and the Whale which is as good as The Real Pain. Everything has exceptions, tho. Still think Now You See Me is the only film series that JE looks proper HOT.
unlabelledView post →As a completionist, this feels good. Don't regret a second. (Okay, those Bottle Rocket movies were pretty shit). Also watched every movie he's produced, which is just most of these plus The Squid and the Whale (fucked up movie). #WesAnderson #filmsky #moviesky 🎬
unlabelledView post →just clocked I took this prompt to mean 'worst film to watch on a date', i.e. in context, and not 'what is quality-wise the worst film you've sat through to score', so for clarification I think The Squid and the Whale is great in any context other than dates one to three
unlabelledView post →Watched The Squid and the Whale because it kept appearing on my Netflix and I liked the cast. And it turned out to be such a good movie, highly recommend

unlabelledView post →It's like in the movie 'The Squid and the Whale' where JEsse Eisenberg's character is caught passing off a Pink Floyd song as his own at a school talent show, and he says to the psychologist "Well I feel that I could have wrote the song, so the fact that I didn't is mere technicality"

unlabelledView post →If I saw The Squid and the Whale in theaters, there you go. Glass Onion was infuriating because it's basically half a movie, but mine is The Last Jedi. Not because of Rose Tran's plot line, which went nowhere but something genuinely interesting was teased and then snuffed out leading to TLS

unlabelledView post →I watched a movie! #24 🇺🇸 The Squid and the Whale 🇯🇵 イカとクジラ 2005 (U-NEXT) I said I’d watch more Noah Baumbach movies! Fascinating portrait of a family falling apart in 1980’s NYC. Apparently based on the director’s family. Divorce & dick bag intellectual dad make for an interesting but awkward watch.
unlabelledView post →80th favorite 📽 : Marriage Story (2019). A relatively recent entry on this list, the film operates as a sort of mirror to Baumbach's earlier The Squid and the Whale. The latter from the writer/director's perspective on his parents' divorce, whereas this gives an unflinching view from the inside.

unlabelledView post →actually, i was wrong re when i saw indie film 📽️ “The Squid and the Whale” (2005)! Noah Baumbach and Wes Anderson (both physically attractive, have good hair and a good sense of style!) showed clips of “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou” (2004) at The New Yorker Festival event at the Film Forum.

unlabelledView post →Reminder that Noah Baumbach made a movie called “The Squid and the Whale” where the squid and the whale exhibit of the NY Museum of Natl. History is the central metaphor AND there’s a scene at the museum, AND he does not show the squid and the whale because he is a fucking weirdo.
unlabelledView post →@toddo @jewishreader you’re thinking of #TheSquidAndTheWhale with Jeff Daniels, and others. Also awesome! But this is a new film #TheWhale. New #DarrenAronofsky film. Starring #BrendanFraser. Not for the faint of heart but worth watching. And #MobyDick makes an appearance!
unlabelledView post →Gripping realistic account of divorce and its consequences; it’s also occasionally comical “The Squid and the Whale” (2005) is a frank, quirky and amusing drama about a family from Brooklyn in 1986 that encounters divorce and the ramifications thereof. The father (Jeff Daniels) is a literary professor and fading author while the wife (Laura Linney) is an emerging writer, a sweet liberal who for some reason can’t stop having affairs. The two boys are played by Jesse Eisenberg and Owen Kline.…
