Review of Wildlife (2018) by Ginak — 07 Nov 2018

An incredible film by Paul Dano, who, as director, creates a unique atmosphere that enfolds and ensnares the viewer. Although his characters are ordinary and very human, they are also fascinating. Carey Mulligan is incredibly good as a frustrated woman coping with her husband’s absence.

Ed Oxenbould is also excellent as her young son who is both confused and hurt by his parent’s behavior. Jake Gyllenhaal disappears for most of the film, yet he is always a presence.
