Profound personal tragedy drove English professor Charlie (Brendan Fraser in his Academy Award-winning performance) into seclusion-and binge-eating-to the point where now, as a 600-pound recluse, he maintains career through teleconferencing. His desire to reach out to the embittered teenage daughter (Sadie Sink) he hasn't seen in years will come with fateful consequences. Darren Aronofsky's stunning effort, driven by Fraser's remarkable central performance, also stars Hong Chau, Ty Simpkins, Samantha Morton. Blu-ray disc also come with bonus features.
