I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than Whalefall.

The science in Whalefall has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

Hot Take: Whalefall's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Honestly, Whalefall would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Whalefall?
Just got out of Whalefall and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Unpopular opinion: Whalefall is the most overrated film of the decade
Everyone praising the Whalefall performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
