Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Although this movie starts off quite slow, it really builds suspense and intrigue all throughout. What I like about this film is that it sources on realism. The relationship between the two protagonists is in no way glamorized, as most Hollywood films do, but instead it shows something more raw. At first it seems that there is no real depth to Katherine's and David's relationship but as you keep watching you realize that the depiction of their marriage - lacking any deep and meaningful personal connection - mirrors David's character. Out of the two protagonists, David's character is the hardest to understand. What this film does well is keep his backstory to the minimum, but towards the end the little details that were revealed about his childhood, such as the death of his mother, all come into place. Another aspect of this film that adds to the overall effect is the use of flashbacks, from the courtroom where David is being questioned, to the actual events beginning in 1973 and on wards. Overall, this is simply a wonderful movie. It captured all the necessary aspects to recreate the true events that occurred surrounding David Marks and his trial. Without a doubt, watch this movie now. Especially if you're a lover of murder mysteries like myself.

The main actors give great performances but it's unbelievable that their characters are related to each other.The father is not likely to be Gosling's character's father. It just doesn't match.The romance between Dunst and Gosling is not intimate, not sensitive enough. If you have seen some prior work of Gosling, as in Blue Valentine, you know what I mean. And you know what I mean anyway if you ever had a real love story yourself.The sex scene is the worst I have ever seen! I mean, Gosling puts his hand under her dress, but so low that of course he touches nothing, she opens his pants as he waits there, they kiss and we clearly see her mouth with her tongue moving in the space, then they are on the bed : there are no emotions, there is nothing real about it, you almost hear the director give the instructions! Then when they are under the shower, they keep a distance between their bodies. I swear to God, I heard Dunst whisper : look, I'm an actress, this doesn't have to be real, so don't touch me, OK? Plus, even if I love Gosling very much, even if I love to see him naked, I found him to not be the right actor for the shirtless scenes. I mean, come on, he is musclebound, which doesn't make it plausible for him to be a weak, freaky man, jealous of his wife.So I found the casting to be very very bad. Casting being the art of putting together the actors in a way that will make the whole work.Now, every performance respectively was astounding.About the scenario, there are also some weaknesses : it is hard to understand why a woman would endure for so long such a hard relationship. There are not much clues. It is bizarre why she comes back at the end to that freak. And when she finds the blood of the dog, what she does? She goes show him! And that's the same woman that went through the window to save herself from him when he hit her???? Come on! The movie tends to make us see that woman only as a victim, almost a moron! And that doesn't seem fair to me. If she wanted, she could have gone back to where she came from and begin her life again, couldn't she? So I assume she got used to money. Or was she that in love? Well, it is a mystery anyway, love...Also, I've read in some review that Gosling's character tries to look normal until he can't hide his craziness anymore. I haven't seen that. He just switches from sane to insane. I thought he was normal in the beginning! A bit weird, but just like I am ;), not a psycho! Now the story itself is very interesting, very touching, and very creepy. If it can help only one woman to run away from a psycho, even if she has no penny, then it would have been useful.It is absolutely non-understandable though that the real person has not been pursued for the murder of his wife, especially since he has been able to kill someone later on, and to cut that someone into pieces! I mean, come on! And the funny thing is that he had only 9 months of jail for improper disposal of a body! What? Seriously? How does anyone want people to stop killing people if the justice is so light? Anyway, if you're a fan of Ryan Gosling, I recommend that movie! If you're a fan of Ryan Gosling, I recommend any movie he's in! :)

Based on a notorious unsolved murder case in New York, David Marks (Ryan Gosling) is the son of high power landlord Sanford Marks (Frank Langella). They own half of Time Square, the more seedy half. When David married Katie (Kirsten Dunst), they happily moved out to the country to run their organic food store. Eventually they abandon the failing food store, and he reluctantly joins the family business. He starts to change. She can't divorce him because he has no money of his own. She would get nothing from the divorce unless she could find something to hold over the family.The pacing is slow. Andrew Jarecki is a first time director, and lacks the skills to pump up the drama. Both Gosling and Dunst put in good performances. The movie just doesn't have the tension that it is suppose to. It probably spent too much time as the happy couple in the first half of the movie.

Let me start real quick by saying this is my first IMDb review, and that I think IMDb is one of the best web sites on the internet.We watched "All Good Things" I think mainly because of the hype about Ryan Gosling, and while I believe he is a good actor he seems to choose parts that are so very slow that they leave the movie quite boring. In All Good Things, he plays a troubles guy who tries to change his life in order to please his father, but not to the same level of pleasure for his wife.We are given little insight into why he is the way he is (other than his father's expectations) or why he does what he does. This leads the viewer to be as frustrated with him as his wife appears to be. The twist at the end also leaves us wondering what the heck really happened, but not in an interesting "make your own conclusions" kind of a way.That said, if you like Mr. Gosling's acting style (and the slow style of his choice in directors) in previous movies such as "Beyond the Pines" and "Drive" (which I liked more than "Good Things"), you might like this one as well.
