Wakefield
Directed by Robin Swicord1h 46m2017
A man's nervous breakdown causes him to leave his wife and live in his attic for several months.
Our read: Wakefield (2017) reads as a sombre, slow-burn, inventive drama entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Sombre, slow-burn, gentle drama, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold.
