All the good things (2010) [26/50]




Language: English           

Cast: Ryan Gosling, Kirsten Dunst, Frank Langella.

Story: Based on the real life events of Robert and Kathleen durst, from one of the wealthiest families in America. The story of a man whose wife goes missing and he is not suspected of murder but the series of events notices something different.

Screenplay and direction: The direction is very good and screenplay drags a bit and doesn’t leave room for character development.

Performances: Outstanding performances by the lead pair. Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst are very talented and dedicated. The rest of cast was good enough.

Interesting: The man who commits the crimes in real life is still free.

USP: amazing performances, its usp is that the story is true and that the man is from one of the wealthiest families in America.

Downside: The writing is not interesting, the creators fail to improvise, it’s a bit too distant.

Verdict: All said and done, the movie left an impact. It’s dark and takes you some place dark too. The writing and screenplay could be better but the performances more than make up for it. I liked it, Can be watched. 7/10
