Hands down one of the greatest films of 2025, WHALE 52 left me a sobbing mess. It is a glorious celebration about finding the people you need.
Based on a true story the film is the story of a senior volunteer who ends up asked to mind a young man who refuses to speak. Over time the pair begin to connect.
I was not expecting this to be what it was. Where it goes and how it goes was so perfectly done that even the touches that make you think it's just Plympton style quirkiness reveals itself to be key to the tale. I will not say more lest I spoil anything.
I was destroyed in the best possible way by the ending which is as note perfect as any film I've ever seen.( Yes, really)
I do not have words to say more beyond see this film when it plays the Tribeca Film Festival
