Inspired by the most notorious missing person’s case in New York history, ALL GOOD THINGS is a love story and murder mystery set against the backdrop of a New York real estate dynasty in the 1980s. Mr. Durst was suspected but never tried for killing his wife Kathie who disappeared in 1982 and was never found. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
All Good Things is an interpretation of real events from 1971-2003. It discusses the key moments that preceded the disappearance of "Katie Marks" in 1982 and what followed. Katie, played by Kirsten Dunst, is transformed by her marriage to "David Marks" (Ryan Gosling) from a young girl with a bright future into a wreck who has had a completely unnecessary abortion and has not even been accepted to medical school. All Good Things is a raw, realistic, and uncomfortable drama and features excellent performances. The main couple is supported well by veteran Frank Langella. I would see the only problem in the title of the film, which primarily refers only to the plot marginalia of a health food store. Otherwise, in the context of Kirsten Dunst's filmography, it follows past similarly existential dramas such as Levity, Fifteen and Pregnant, and Mother Night. That's all. Kirsten made a comeback with this film and seamlessly followed it up with Melancholia to dazzle on higher and higher grounds. And she's succeeding at it.
