- PhysicalMedia4LifeAugust 16, 2026Wakefield is a deep character study into somebody that's going through both a identity & mid life crisis. And has to search deep within himself; to discover who he really is and what he really wants out of life. I thought the Wakefield explored that very effectively; this for me is one of Bryan Cranston's most underrated movie and performance. I love the journey we go on mentally with Howard and its sp realistic; because anybody could snap into that mode at any point. Wakefield conveys it very emotionally, psychologically & effectively. Finally I loved the way the film wrapped up; for me that's the perfect ending for a movie like this. Just to have it end on a cliffhanger like that; not knowing what's going to happen next was awesome, loved it!!!! My Personal Ratings/Scores for Wakefield is a definite 10/10 & ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
