Umnumzana Wakefield unxunguphele, kodwa akazi ukuba enze ntoni ngayo. Unemali, ikhabethe elihle, umfazi omhle (uJennifer Garner), abantwana ababini, umsebenzi ohlonitshwayo, nayo yonke enye into ekwabelwana ngayo ngabahambi abanesithende kakuhle kwaye baphumelele ngokwaneleyo ukuba babalekele ububi besixeko esikhulu ukuze bafumane ulonwabo apho kuluhlaza khona izinto ziyakhula. Akwanelanga. I-Wakefield yonwabise intelekelelo yokuhlekisa i-angst eyonakalisayo yoxanduva olungapheliyo kunye nokuqala kwakhona, mhlawumbi nangobunikazi obutsha.

Njengoko iintsuku zijika zibe ziinyanga uWakefield uqala ukuchuma kwimeko yakhe entsha yokungabikho emsebenzini, ekhululwe kumakhamandela okucheba, ukuhlamba, ukuzilungisa kakuhle, kunye nokunye ukuvumelana njengoko ebuza amaxabiso amadala obukho bakhe bangaphambili.

Ngaba kukho nabani na ongakhange afune ukubeka ubomi babo emzuzwini, okanye abaleke ngokupheleleyo? Ingxelo ityhilwa kancinci, kunye noMnumzana Cranston enika isixa esiboniswa yindoda enye yokuguquguquka kunye namandla ngendlela yokuthetha naye njengombalisi-obonayo ibali lakhe.

Doctorow wokuba akukho mntu unokuhlala yedwa, ngaphandle kokudibana nabanye. Ixabiso likaWakefield lihlawula olo lwazi luphezulu, kodwa xa ekugqibeleni efumana inkululeko, inika uxabiso olutsha ngobomi awayekhe wabuthatha njengobungenasihlahla. Okwangoku, unomvuzo wento etyebileyo, eyandisiweyo, kunye nokusebenza okungalunganga nguBryan Cranston ovavanya izinto ezinqabileyo zetalente yakhe engazange yabonwa ngaphambili. Into yokugqibela ova ngayo Wakefield yenye yezona zinto zigqibeleleyo zokuqhekeza endikhe ndeva kwiminyaka. Ukuqala kwam ukubona lo mboniso bhanyabhanya kuMnyhadala weFilimu waseToronto wamazwe aphesheya, loo mgca – kunye nokuthula okungathethekiyo okwalandelayo- kwandikhathaza kwakudala emva kokuba imovie yaphela yaba mnyama. Ukuyibona okwesibini, kundifakile umbane kwakhona. Ngokuqinisekileyo yenye yezona zinto zingenakulibaleka zonyaka.
