Big Fish tells the story of an investigative journalist named William Bloom and his father, Edward Bloom. Edward has a penchant for telling exaggerated stories about his life, which drives a wedge between him and William. When Edward falls ill, a grown-up William journeys to piece together his father's stories and see if there's any truth to them. He grows to understand Edward and his fantastical imagination in the process. Helena Bonham Carter, Ewan McGregor, and Albert Finney all deliver stellar performances in this film. My only criticism is there isn't enough Jessica Lange!
Watch Big Fish on Hulu.
