“Whalefall” Tries to Dive Deep But Falls Short

A review of the film adaptation of Daniel Kraus's novel Whalefall, in which Jay Gardiner dives to recover his father's remains and is swallowed by a whale. The critic praises Austin Abrams' performance and the practical effects but finds the flashbacks heavy-handed and the CGI damaging to the emotional climax.
