Wildlife (2018)

From Kanopy:

Family bonds are stretched to the breaking point in the emotionally stunning directorial debut from Paul Dano. Carey Mulligan and Jake Gyllenhaal star.

From Kanopy you can stream this 1 hour 44 minute complete film.

If Jake Gyllenhaal is in a film, then you probably want to see the film. “Wildlife” is just the kind of laid-back , sad drama that Gyllenhaal favors. For the most part Carey Mulligan as the mother and Ed Oxenbould as the son carry the story while Gyllenhaal as the feckless father is absent for much of the story (and a disaster when he is present).

Superb acting makes this film a piercing experience. If you can stand the unhappiness, then DO NOT MISS!
