Sadie Sink clearly has eyes to be a director or producer. She understands the whole picture.

[@chelsey1657]

I'm actually really excited about this youngster.

[@trinaq]

I'm so delighted to see Sadie get more dramatic roles, both this movie and the latest season of Stranger Things gave her more time to shine.

[@chasehedges6775]

She’s a fantastic actress

[@filmtoppings]

She was absolutely incredible in The Whale

[@lucapasvolsky1677]

Hopefully she’s nominated for an Oscar

[@mercy6549]

@@lucapasvolsky1677 Right, she deserves it!

[@Yoloswaggity]

She got cancelled.

[@DanielRed2]

Sadie is learning the craft of acting right in front of our eyes. I predict she is going to be one of THE standout female actors of this generation, if she isn't already. Aronofsky has always had the ability to bring out the very best in any actor. This guy truly knows what he's doing.

[@Ilovecerealcerealcereal]

Darren is a sicko I mean have you seen Requiem for a Dream?

[@belljar7053]

@ChobbleGobbler her acting made me feel hurt. So yeah, she's a good actress and i still have feelings with this movie, I feel my trauma moving inside me 🤕

Ya he gave mickey rourke a comeback and he should have won the oscar. He brought the best out of jared leto and marlon wayans. He brings the best out if everyone

[@tattooedheart67]

It’s so crazy to see someone so young be so sure and detailed with her craft. Sadie is going to be a renowned actress within years

[@user-nf9xm7is3m]

She is so classy for her age too

[@disliked1390]

[@derick-smith]

Sadie will have an Oscar in the future. She is such a tremendous physical performer. The twitch reactions and the way she mastered that cat/yarn dynamic. I watched the movie to see Brendan Frasier's performance but Sadie wowed me just as much.

[@eduardaschutz6146]

Yes

[@yellowmoon4564]

Her character is kind of a bit of the one she plays in stranger things?.....

[@christinayoo1190]

This movie delivers hope. The last 10 minutes and the ending made me overwhelmed and burst in tears. Such a great movie and the actors. It deserves a second viewing.

[@elhopper3735]

This movie broke me and connected to me in a way I didn’t know it could. Definitely a 2022 fav and Brendan and Sadie both give incredible performances along with everyone else

[@TheAfricanGrey]

I’ll watch anything with Sadie in it at this point. She’s just phenomenal.

[@violetslit]

love hearing both of them talk about all the little details (the ring, the books in the background, etc.), it really shows how much they care

[@MsClaudiaDuran]

What I love the most about Sadie Sink (that I haven't seen in a child actor since Lindsay Lohan) is that she projects this tough-as-nails exterior with a lot of vulnerability. Even when her characters are yelling, swearing, and becoming violent, you can still see that little girl inside.

[@KasumiRINA]

They're both natural redheads... really hard to see someone as mean when they have freckles and skin you can see blood vessels through.

[@rxdrygx_177]

Sadie's performance in "the whale" is spectacular, and perfect at the same time🤩🤩

[@315peaks]

Althought I haven't watched this film, I read so many good reviews about Sadie's acting and I wish she had gotten nominations, but I think the commentary alone and the ensemble itself will bring her more projects in the future. She's definetly a rising star and has a great future.

[@duewest9801]

Darren seems so much friendlier than his reputation suggests

[@rudeboyspodcast]

@asava17 you can tell Mother! was a much more difficult film to make than The Whale. Less intimate and more shocking. Probably reflected in his behavior

[@ryanwallace1511]

I hope the DVD releases with an extended version or just hours of bonus features. I can't get enough.

[@Nancy-sf2pl]

I hope they do another movie together in the future when Sadie starts playing adult roles

[@sheridan7475]

Being aggressive through acting is surely cathartic, it takes a ton of strength to hold that in : aka being a ‘nice person’

[@shwesharan]

Loved the way they both broke down the scene. There are so many elements to the scene that I absorbed but didn't really notice until now. Just incredible!

[@MerylCheap]

The Whale is incredible. Undeniably one of the best movies of 2022.

[@lydiabrasser2920]

My husband and I watched this movie last night on Vudu it made me cry. Brendan Fraser really did a great job I’m thankful that he won his first Oscar! He deserves nothing but the best!❤

[@Carbabydoll]

Aronofsky is truly amazing. The Whale is once again another masterpiece that is truly meant to be as a movie. Next to Requiem For A Dream.

[@milenaarias44]

i like how Darren Aronofsky looks to her to make sure he's getting the facts right about his own film, haha. It's endearing.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

I noticed that too. He treats Sadie with so much respect, it's actually adorable.

[@ddunesss]

Sadie's stylist needs a raise

[@MariceAdranedaMUA]

The attention to detail in this film is INSANE. Aronofsky is amazing.

[@bean6520]

Sadie deserved an Oscar nomination for her performance imo

[@SuperKitty104]

I haven’t seen the movie YET. I just came on here to say that Sadie’s outfit is AMAZING!✨ omg that dress is so pretty! I want it😂 and her makeup.

[@sita9071]

I saw this movie a few months ago at the Savannah Film Festival and absolutely loved it. Can't recommend it enough!

[@delrey874]

This movie is a masterpiece in my book, Brendan and Sadie's performances are phenomenal (or rather all the actors are) and Aronofsky's direction seems more mature than The Wrestler. I think he's still evolving.

Ellie was such a good character. I really felt for her. The fact a lot of people in real life don’t like Ellie shows how misunderstood she really is, which is what makes Charlie’s ability to see Ellie for her all-encompassing and beautiful aura even sweeter and more tragic.
