The Squid and the Whale was super awesome. Miserable but awesome. One of the best movies I've seen for a good stint. There are quite a few movies like it perhaps. But I enjoy all of them. I'm thinking of movies like We Don't Live Here Anymore and Me, You and Everyone We Know. This was rather more bitter, but so good. The characters were great and the conflict was so entrancing. One of those films where I was aching for something bad to happen to the main characters. And for the people who were still sincere and functional to get away from the mess. I think the most interesting bit was just the relationship between a son and his dad. There were a few bits that reminded me of myself. But then best movies (and books) are the ones that encourage you to ponder the blackness of your own soul. Well they're my favourites at least.
