More on The Squid and the Whale
Description from Wikipedia:
The Squid and the Whale is a 2005 dramatic film written and directed by Noah Baumbach. It tells the semi-autobiographical story of two boys in Brooklyn dealing with their parents' divorce in the 1980s. The film is named after a giant squid and sperm whale diorama found at the American Museum of Natural History. The film was shot on Super 16mm, mostly using a handheld camera. The film is rated R for strong sexual content, graphic dialogue, and language.
The Squid and the Whale was a success with critics. At the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, the film won awards for best dramatic direction and screenwriting, and was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize. Baumbach later received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. The film received six Independent Spirit Award nominations and three Golden Globe nominations. The New York Film Critics Circle, Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the National Board of Review voted its screenplay the year's best.
