> "I'm in the whale!"

Austin Abrams marinates on the death of his dad while forcing me to do the same.

I read the book at the start of the year, and it's impressive how well the movie reflects what's on the pages. There are scenes that I thought would be impossible to put on screen, but with a small tweak work perfectly. The increased role of the mum and sisters really help open up the story here too.
