The best things to watch this weekend: Dec. 5 - Dec. 114 of 10
The Whale | Movie Premieres in Theaters on Friday, Dec. 9
Plot: A reclusive English teacher attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter.
Our Take: Few things in the movie world have made us happier this year than Brendan Fraser’s return to critical and popular acclaim. And the fact that he's shaded Tom Cruise's Mummy remake while on the Oscars campaign trail this year? It's the sort of candor we miss from stars these days. Darren Aronofsky again scales back his style a degree last seen in The Wrestler, and we remember what a comeback story that was.
