Wildlife (Criterion Collection)

In early-‘60s Montana, the inability of Jerry Brinson (Jake Gyllenhaal) to hang onto even menial employment takes its toll on his wife Jeanette (Carey Mulligan) and teenage son Joe (Ed Oxenbould). As he signs on as a firefighter--and gets called away indefinitely dealing with a forest blaze--the restless Jeanette’s pursuit of an extramarital liaison may sever whatever familial bonds remain. Paul Dano’s directing debut, adapted from the Richard Ford novel by Dano and Zoe Kazan, co-stars Bill Camp. 104 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio; Subtitles: English (SDH); featurettes.
