  'Wakefield (2016)' centers around a husband and father of two girls that one day chooses to abandon his life for several months and set up shop in his garage attic. From the detached garage attic he has a birds eye view of his home where he is able to examine how his family handles his unannounced absence.
  
  With a film like 'Wakefield (2016),' you wouldn't expect much dialogue, it is very much just one guy staring through a window watching his families life play out from afar. Surpassingly though, it was the films dialogue that impressed me the most. Throughout the entirety of the film, Bryan Cranston's character has a very in-depth inner dialogue style conversation with films viewer. At times, it even approaches a "breaking the 4th wall" level. This inner dialogue conversation is incredibly well written and explores the inner psyche in a fascinating way.
