Mr. Sloane(2014)

Mr. Sloane is a British comedy-drama following a buttoned-down 1960s man spiralling through personal failure. Trapped in suburban Watford, the titular character juggles a collapsed marriage, stalled career prospects, and a suicide attempt—all before 1969 is halfway through. When a job opportunity and a woman's phone number from a chance hardware store encounter surface, Mr. Sloane glimpses a possible turning point. Dark humour threads through his mounting desperation as he grasps for redemption in an era of social constraint and masculine expectation.
