All Good Things Reviews
The result just falls flat.
| Original Score: C+ | Sep 9, 2017
The Duel drops us into a pool of languid provincial life ( ... ) Kosashvili gets the delicate falling ending of short fiction that is so hard to achieve on screen.
| Nov 13, 2013
David (Gosling) finds potential salvation in Katie (Kirsten Dunst), a free spirit so saintlike that she verges on caricature.
| Jun 20, 2013
There's a fascinating story here for a bolder filmmaker, but after so much meandering it's a relief that All Good Things must come to an end.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 31, 2011
Director Andrew Jarecki, who made his name with the documentary Capturing the Friedmans, is less successful at limning family dysfunctionality in the fictional mode.
| Original Score: C | Jan 3, 2011
It also feels like one man's attempt to try another in the court of cinema, or perhaps correct the course of justice itself.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 3, 2011
The unsolved crime turns out to be less mysterious than the mind of the killer, nervily portrayed by Gosling as not evil but unaccountably empty.
| Dec 30, 2010
Gosling and co-stars Kirsten Dunst and Frank Langella don't do anything wrong here but the movie is such a mash-up of tones, fiction, and reality that it never comes together into anything coherent.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 23, 2010
Kirsten Dunst is so good here as a woman at a loss to understand who her husband really is, and what the true nature of his family involves.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 23, 2010
As excellent as Gosling is - and the actor conveys the stillness of the man as well as the voices screaming in his head - Dunst matches him stride for stride.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 22, 2010
It's a strange, thrilling tale begrimed by bad memories, by bad deeds.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 17, 2010
Dunst is not the only person doing quality work in "All Good Things," but she is the only one worth watching.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 16, 2010
You watch it wanting to scurry off to read accounts of the real thing, rather than being caught up in the filmmaking.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 16, 2010
As absorbing and detailed as "All Good Things" is, it never manages to levitate beyond tawdry movie-of-the-week voyeurism.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 10, 2010
The script draws insistently obvious psychological connections.
| Dec 9, 2010
Gosling is given the barest blueprint of a life gone terribly wrong and the actor struggles to make something out of nothing, though he does manage to give the older David an aura of weirdness that is downright creepy.
| Dec 9, 2010
A soap opera that stands at a distance from its characters (that distance being the length of a lawyer's briefcase)
| Original Score: C | Dec 6, 2010
There's plenty of information on what (might have) happened, but not much thought given to why.
| Original Score: 4.2/10 | Dec 3, 2010
It's a pretty picture or would be if the ominous music and camera position didn't seem directed at the man portentously lurking in the background.
Full Review | Dec 3, 2010
Jarecki, the wealthy co-founder of Moviefone who directed the acclaimed documentary "Capturing the Friedmans," here presents another memorable portrait of a dysfunctional family over three decades.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 3, 2010
