To Leslie
Michael Morris, USA 2022, 119’
The Whale
Oscar-nominated Andrea Riseborough plays an alcoholic trying to rebuild a bond with her abandoned son after years of absence. An intimate study of addiction and the breakdown of interpersonal ties, as well as a story of redemption devoid of melodramatic cliche.
