Each and every year hundreds of people flock to New Bedford, MA in bleak mid-winter to partake in a celebration like none other.

All of these people have one thing in common: they are obsessed with Moby Dick, the book that most call the Great American Novel.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Call Us Ishmael is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

Released in 2018, this film holds up just as well today. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
