Rating: B -- Cranston is utterly hypnotic as a certain kind of American male on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Full Review
Entertainment Weekly

Rating: 3/4 -- Working from her own screenplay, director Robin Swicord delivers a film that balances wry humor and sly introspection. Full Review

Rating: 2.75/5 -- Voyeurism channeled through a character so bereft of decency and filled with such a false sense of superiority only serves to leave the viewer feeling a little dirty. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/4 -- What a fine performance by Jennifer Garner, playing a character we see almost totally through the filter of her husband's viewpoint. Full Review

3 stars out of 4 -- Thanks to Swicord and Cranston, however, WAKEFIELD has found a shelter where its ideas can breathe and resonate.
Rolling Stone

Rating: 3.5/5 -- An ode to discontent and resentment, a story of self reflection that's as thought provoking as it is imperfect. Full Review

Uneventful and dull to look at, the film adapts a short story by E.L. Doctorow that probably should have stayed on the page. Full Review
