The Squid and the Whale (2005)



This is a depressing and sometimes funny account of family crisis dramas - often too revealing and at times uncomfortable, but overall a good character study in dysfunction.
Perhaps if anything its a commentary on the bizarre amount of repression and misinformation that Baumbach remembers as his childhood.
I like that its set in Brooklyn mid 80's and slightly low budget(16mm)
Directed by Noah Baumbach and Co-produced by Wes Anderson
