The Squid and the Whale (2005)
In 1980s Brooklyn, two young brothers navigate the escalating divorce of their intellectual parents. The split is acrimonious, and the boys are pulled into their loyalties, often siding with one parent against the other. The older son begins to emulate his father's arrogant and cynical worldview, while the younger one acts out, as the family's artistic pretensions fracture under the weight of their dysfunction.
