"The Whale" has been directed by Black Swan-famed director Darren Aronofsky, whereas his long-time cinematographer Matthew Libatique joined him in this movie.

"The Whale" was welcome with a six-minute-long standing ovation from the viewers after its screening at the Venice Film Festival. The film also earned similar rave reviews and applause after its screening at the London Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival. Many critics believe Fraser will be the front-runner for the Oscar race.

The story of "The Whale" follows Charlie (Fraser), an obese teacher who chooses to eat himself to death. He suffers from extreme misery after the desertion and death of his gay lover. Gradually, Charlie decides to chronic eating.

The film also portrays Charlie's struggle to reunite with his 17-year-old daughter, played by Sadie Sink, best known for her role as Max in Stranger Things.
