I love small movies like Wakefield. I watched it in the theater and really liked it a lot. However, I just saw it on Netflix for the second time and it did nothing for me. It's a great premise and a beautiful story. The problem is that there was WAY too much voice-over. I normally don't have a problem with narration, but this was just excessive. It gives the viewer no room to experience what's happening. I felt like this should have been the kind of movie where you can watch it multiple times and discover something new each time, but there was nothing to be gained from a second viewing. It's worth seeing, but like I said, once is enough.
