3. The Squid and the Whale

Starring Jeff Daniels, Laura Linney, Jesse Eisenberg, and Owen Kline, The Squid and the Whale dives into the messy aftermath of a bitter divorce in 1980s Brooklyn. The movie captures how kids often get caught in the emotional crossfire, navigating loyalty, identity, and awkward teen moments. Released in 2005 and directed by Noah Baumbach, the film blends sharp wit with raw emotions. It’s like watching a family therapy session, cringe-worthy, heartfelt, and oddly relatable all at once.
