Watch Wakefield For Free

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I love Bryan Cranston and Jennifer Garner but this movie needed to be cut down by at least 20 minutes. And after patiently waiting for the ending - it was so lazy. Come on writers - we deserved more.

The ending: This movie is fantasy, so why are so many people disappointed in the ending? Maybe he was never gone at all. Maybe the whole movie happened in just one day, inside his head, after the train stopped.

I see no point In going over the same ground as previous reviews. Two massive flaws. The first, is that you have absolutely no idea of the time scale, Cranston's character is ''elsewhere'', 2nd, if you honestly believe, there is nothing wrong with the ending, you're giving the writer credit, he does not deserve. It reminds me of a long winded joke someone once told me, where the character is about to deliver the punchline....you say to the joke teller, so what did the piece of paper say.?!! ...don't know, he dropped it in the water....

So much going on in this film that everyone should watch. I doubt many will understand or relate to what happened in this man's life. I do.
