This Oscar-nominated picture features beautiful performances, both by young actors and established stars, of nuanced and vulnerable characters, with a very independent, low-budget feel. It’s the story of a couple of very intellectual writers in the process of divorce and the effect it has on their two sons.

Grade: A-.

IMDB: The Squid and the Whale.
