The Squid and the Whale (2005) 2 x DVD and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

The Beekman family is coming apart at the seams in 1986 Brooklyn. Bernard (Jeff Daniels) is an academic and once-celebrated novelist who has a tendency to exaggerate his own importance. For example, he refers to Kafka as "one of my predecessors." Currently, his creativity is at a low ebb just as his wife, Joan (Laura Linney), is about to publish her first novel.
After 17 years of marriage, they are separating. Their two sons are not taking the separation very well at all. Sixteen-year-old Walt (Jesse Eisenberg) feels closer to his father and mouths his opinions about F. Scott Fitzgerald and other famous writers. He is very angry at his mother and blames her for breaking up the family. Twelve year-old Frank (Owen Kline) knows that his father has a bond with Walt that he can never match; he sides with his mother.
