Reviews

The Film Stage - Jordan Ruimy
Wakefield fights formula and creates its own unique cinematic language.
75
Movie Nation - Roger Moore
Wakefield is a sometimes funny, always smart movie that never quite finds the depth to be brilliant.
70
Screen International - Tim Grierson
Although Wakefield’s ending leaves open the possibility for multiple interpretations, the filmmaker removes the sting from her story’s tale, which keeps its insights from cutting as deep.
60
The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy
Swicord took on a daunting challenge in adapting this piece, and she’s met it more intelligently than convincingly. It would have been asking a lot from any actor to carry this film, and Cranston has done the heavy lifting and more.
60
Variety - Peter Debruge
Cranston humanizes his sociopathic character, which is essential, considering that Wakefield is essentially a one-man show whose star grows increasingly creepy as his beard fills in and his fingernails lengthen and turn back.
