Wakefield (2016)
Bryan Cranston stars in Wakefield, a comedy-drama about a successful attorney who takes an unexpected break from his life and responsibilities. Coming home late one evening, he follows a raccoon and realises he can hide in his garage without being detected by his family. One accidental night in the garage turns into a whole secret life as he watches his family carry on without him.
His new perspective leads him to question everything.
The movie is based on a short story by EL Doctorow, who was in turn inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It scored 72% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Chicago Sun-Times said: “In this haunting, darkly funny and elegiac mood piece, Cranston once again displays a nearly unparalleled ability to make us like and care about men who are selfish and impetuous and reckless — yet still seem to have a core of decency buried deep within.”
