Is the movie The Squid and the Whale available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?
At Stream Tracker, we’re taking a look at Noah Baumbach’s sharp, bookish Brooklyn drama The Squid and the Whale (2005) and where you can stream it — Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+. Based on Baumbach’s own childhood, the film is a bittersweet coming-of-age portrait of two young boys negotiating their parents’ divorce in 1980s Brooklyn: cramped apartments, literary sniping, and the awkward rites of passage that mark a family falling apart. Critically acclaimed, the film earned two Academy Award nominations (Best Original Screenplay for Baumbach and Best Supporting Actor for Jeff Daniels). In the lines that follow, Stream Tracker will check which platforms currently carry the film and how to watch it.
