Review: Brendan Fraser’s performance elevates ‘The Whale’

Bohemian director Darren Aronofsky has brought his audiences some really colorful films over the years. Most notably in 2000 was his most established cult following film called “Requiem For a Dream,” followed by “The Wrestler,” “Black Swan,” and now “The Whale.” Starring an almost unrecognizable Brendan Fraser (“With Honors”), this new film is based on an off-Broadway play of the same name. It follows “Charlie,” a reclusive 600-pound, gay English teacher grieving the death of his partner, while trying to reconcile with his angry teenage daughter before he dies. Sounds like quite the mood lifter, right?
