I honestly don't know what to make of this film. I don't know if I like it but I know I didn't dislike it - so I'm on the fence here. A problem is that the protagonist played by Bryan Cranston is so unlikeable and the initiation of the premise not executed well enough, that I struggled to buy into the notion that a mental breakdown had occurred. It's an interesting idea - giving up everything that holds you including the notion of a marriage, and being free, even if that leads to no possessions, poor hygiene, eating scraps from garbage, etc. But I think the execution could be better. This applies to the ending as well. Some may appreciate the choice, I can't say I did.
