Dano directs the whole thing with the care and confidence of a veteran auteur (his handle on shot composition is truly stunning), and the screenplay by Dano and Kazan is assured and poetic. Mulligan gives a quietly devastating performance as a single mother doing her best, and Gyllenhaal brings a seething intensity to the role of a man trying to hide his shame.
Shortly after arriving, the father loses his job and is forced to take the only work he can – going off and fighting wildfires, leaving his wife and son behind to fend for themselves. Based on the book of the same name by Richard Ford, Wildlife takes place in 1960 and follows a couple ( Carey Mulligan and Jake Gyllenhaal) and their teenage son as they move to Montana. The 2018 directorial debut of actor Paul Dano is a handsomely crafted and emotionally overwhelming chronicle of a marriage falling apart, all seen through the eyes of the couple’s young boy. Cast: Carey Mulligan, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ed Oxenbould, and Bill Camp
