THE SQUID AND THE WHALE (2005) - Oct. 29, 2006
A really well acted film about a couple going through a divorce, and the effect this has on their two kids. The performances were all quite good, though Jeff Daniels was definitely the standout as a pompous writer whose best days are behind him. Written and directed by Noah Baumbach, who collaborated with Wes Anderson on the Life Aquatic, this reminded me of Anderson's films in some ways. Not in the visual style, obviously, but in the way it was written and in the characters (it sort of reminded me of the Royal Tenenbaums). ***
