I originally rented Whale Music because I'm a fan of Deborah Duchene. But I was completely surprised at the caliber of this movie. It's wonderful. The acting is so convincing you wonder if the people knew they were being filmed. Also, the love story between Desmond and Claire is so interesting because of their differences. The characters are believable and un-cliched. Claire is skinny and pretty but not bombshell beautiful and Desmond is slightly obese and normal looking.
It's a very real, original film that is well worth renting. I've seen it at least eight times and enjoyed each time.
