In March 2017, a film was released by two French fans of the show (film director Lucas Stoll and graphic designer Gaylor Morestin) that took the series and put most of the essential parts of the storyline into a two-hour feature-length film format. The film received mixed reviews, with Polygon calling it "a pretty good two-hour movie", while Vox described it as "This works to a degree. The film is interesting and watchable, but skeletal. It gives you the basic structure of the Breaking Bad plot — a high school chemistry teacher gets cancer and becomes the meth kingpin of Albuquerque — but it leaves out integral plot development, character relationships, and particularly connections and motivations. Most of Walter's relationship with Jesse Pinkman is left on the cutting room floor, which makes the actions they take regarding each other in the 'film' feel random and abrupt. Walter's wife Skyler and his brother-in-law Hank fare better, but the nuances of their relationships are also necessarily stripped down to the minimum." The two creators described the endeavor as "a study project that became an all-consuming passion," adding that it took "two years of sleepless nights of endless editing."
