Synopsis
After graduation, several college friends have no clue what to do with their lives except complain about the pointlessness of it all.
Movie Notes: The Squid And The Whale
Hmmm. The only way I can swallow The Squid And The Whale whole is to consider it a black comedy — squid-ink black. If the thought of a young kid swearing, drinking beer, and masturbating in a library strikes your funny bone, this film is for you.
The film expertly skewers a particular character type: Bernard Berkman (Jeff Daniels), is an intellectual writer — smart, well-read, contemplative — but a total asshole.
