Wakefield (2017)

Howard Wakefield has a big job, an enviable home, a beautiful wife, all the comforts of suburban privilege, and a huge dose of apathy about it all. When he sees a raccoon scamper up the stairs to the storeroom above his garage, he follows it up there to chase it out -- and is taken by fact that he can see what's going on in the house from the storeroom's window. Before he knows it, he's spent the whole night there and makes the decision to stay and see what happens. It's pretty interesting to watch him learn the scavenging ropes and to see his family cope and thrive emotionally without him. 

Bryan Cranston is pretty perfect for the role -- there's nothing too awful about him, but he's difficult to truly embrace. He walks the tightrope of likable and annoying. The ending is frustrating, but I'm not sure that there could've been a way to end this without disappointing the viewer.
