The Whale: Screen vs. Stage, or why I loved the play, but not the movie
New York Theater: Some movie critics called “The Whale” stagy , which I consider ironic, since I saw the stage play a decade ago, and, although both the play and the film are written by Samuel D. Hunter, I loved the play and did not love the movie, despite its attention from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences which nominated it for three Oscars: Brendan Fraser for best actor, Hong Chau for best supporting actress, Adrien Morot, Judy Chin and Annemarie Bradle for best makeup and hairstyling
Why would I feel differently about more or less the same story?
