The Squid and the Whale (2005 - R)

"The Squid and the Whale" is a short drama/comedy (yes, it's nuanced and very "Indy") about the trails one family undergoes after the parents decide to divorce.  Part coming-of-age, part tour de force, the film captures the individual struggles, alliances, and transformations of each of the family members throughout their Bohemian life in 1980's Brooklyn, NY.

The cast includes: Laura Linney, Jeff Daniels, Owen Kline, William Baldwin, Jesse Eisenberg, and Anna Paquin.

Written and directed by: Noah Baumbach.
