Two boys learn the hard way about how a marriage falls apart in this independent comedy drama. Bernard (Jeff Daniels) is a novelist whose career has gone into a slow decline as he spends more time teaching and less time writing. His wife, Joan (Laura Linney), meanwhile, has recently begun publishing her own work to widespread acclaim, which only increases the growing tension between them. One day, Bernard and Joan's two sons -- 16-year-old Walt (Jesse Eisenberg) and 12-year-old Frank (Owen Kline) -- are told that their parents are separating, with Bernard renting a house on the other side of their Park Slope, Brooklyn, neighborhood. As the parents set up a schedule for spending time with their children, Walt and Jesse can hardly imagine that things could get more combative between their folks, but they do, as Joan begins dating Ivan (William Baldwin), Frank's tennis instructor, and Bernard starts sharing the house with Lili (Anna Paquin), one of his students. Meanwhile, the two boys begin taking sides in the battle between their parents, with Walt taking after his father and Frank siding with his mom. Based on writer/director Noah Baumbach's own childhood experiences with his parents' divorce, The Squid and the Whale won prizes for writing and direction at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Some New Trailer For The Squid and the Whale
New Review For Movie The Squid and the Whale
A wry exercise in acute observation and emotional distancing, Noah Baumbach's The Squid and the Whale represents what's best in autobiographical filmmaking.Kirk Honeycutt-Hollywood Reporter
The Squid and the Whale is essentially about how we grow up by absorbing what is useful in our parents and forgiving what is not.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times
Don't look now, but Jeff Daniels' days as 'the other Jeff' may be coming to an end.
Bill Muller-Arizona Republic
Hilarious, harrowing and heartbreaking, The Squid and the Whale is one of the best movies of the year.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie-Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It has the messiness of real life, with uncombed hair and unanswered questions.
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
A brutal study in distracted parenting.
Roger Moore-Orlando Sentinel
Try as he might to cut to the frayed nerves of a scene, Baumbach lets cuteness get in the way
Fernando F. Croce-CinePassion
Like the diorama in New York's Museum of Natural History from which the film's title is derived, The Squid And The Whale depicts deep-seated conflict in a manner that is at once exquisitely lifelike and mesmerisingly awful to look at.
Anton Bitel-Eye for Film
The script is delightful, and the banter between the family members is fresh without seeming too scripted.
Jason Gorber-Film Scouts
Un retrato honesto y revelador de la descomposición de un matrimonio, visto desde la perspectiva de los hijos adolescentes.
Enrique Buchichio-Uruguay Total
...Baumbach's most emotionally potent and visually coherent film to date.
Josh Ralske-All Movie Guide
Doesn't break much new ground in terms of parental misconduct or adolescent sexual confusion.
Matt Pais-Metromix.com
Beautifully written, moving and frequently hilarious drama with terrific performances and superb, Oscar-nominated dialogue - this is one of the best films of the year.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
It's brittle, yet tender. Familiar, yet fresh. Intelligent with shooting pains of unpredictability, the film offers no simple answers to unanswerable questions. Instead it leave us with a heartfelt portrayal that involves and touches us.
Urban Cinefile Critics-Urban Cinefile
Relentless in its condemnation of childish parenting and irresponsibility, Noah Baumbach's uncomfortable The Squid and the Whale ranks as one of 2005's best films by pulling no punches whatsoever.
Gabe Leibowitz-Film and Felt
An insightful, unblinking, bittersweet and funny portrait of a family in the process of a bitter divorce.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
As smart and strongly acted as the movie is, you're still left with the feeling that it's ultimately a rather thin slice of personal history that would have been better left as a short story or a lifetime of therapy sessions.
Glenn Whipp-Los Angeles Daily News
... this movie makes you want to hit these stupid parents on the head with a mallet until they come to their senses and realize their poison is contaminating their children.
Lori Hoffman-Atlantic City Weekly
[Squid] joins The Ice Storm and The Royal Tennebaums ... as one of the strongest recent films about the far-reaching consequences of adultery and divorce.
Jeffrey Overstreet-Looking Closer
A biting comedy emerges from the truths in the characters' confused actions, brought brilliantly to life by each of the actors.
Jeffrey Chen-Window to the Movies
A deeply personal and unsparing film, The Squid and the Whale finds humor in the heartache and harpoons the notion that divorce has no casualties.
Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema
Perceptive and graced with a dozen or so small moments of truth ... a highly personal movie that will so thoroughly connect with some members of its audience that they might well be transformed by it.
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
In the end, Baumbach's rich film is about coming to terms with reality.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
In its tragicomic presentation strikes a true note.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
What sets the movie apart is its caustic stripping down of the false academic, a satisfying approach that generates interest because of the egos on display, and because of the egos eventually bashed.
Christopher Smith-Bangor Daily News (Maine)
