The Squid & The Whale

This film boasts some of the best writing and ensemble acting you'll see all year. Jeff Daniels and Laura Linney are fantastic. The actors who play their children are devastating. (In case you're wondering, this movie is about a particularly nasty divorce... kind of like Kramer vs. Kramer.) The problem with this movie is the ending. There isn't one. And that is the one thing that frustrates me most about a great movie... when it just stops without any resolution.

I'm planning to rent this and listen to the audio commentary. Maybe that will shed some light on the thinking behind the movie.
