All Good Things Reviews
"I don't understand David Marks after seeing this film, and I don't know if Andrew Jarecki does. It occurs to me that on my first visits to New York of course I was drawn to 42nd Street, the port of entry for many a young man from the provinces, and I might even have laid eyes on Sanford or David Marks. Little would I have known." Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Timeshttp://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20101222/REVIEWS/101229993
"Gosling gets so deep into character you can feel his nerve endings. Dunst is heartbreakingly good as the wife who senses fear too late. Rabe excels as the journalist friend with ulterior motives. And Frank Langella brings menacing charm to the tycoon father who allowed his young son to watch his mother take a suicide leap off the roof of the family mansion. All Good Things throws so many narrative balls in the air that you may struggle to catch up. It's worth the effort. Jarecki is a master of the telling detail." Peter Travers Rolling Stonehttp://www.rollingstone.com/movies/reviews/all-good-things-20101202
"The best thing that can be said for "All Good Things" is that it gives Kirsten Dunst a chance to prove that she's more than charming, that she's an actress capable of calibrating a woman's progress from happy youth to doubt, frustration and then finally despair. She suggests the passage of years and the brightness of a spirit that gradually dims, almost scene by scene, and it's quite moving." Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chroniclehttp://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/12/16/MVI41GPGMO.DTL#ixzz192rlGJX8
"As absorbing and detailed as "All Good Things" is, it never manages to levitate beyond tawdry movie-of-the-week voyeurism. Jarecki skillfully makes the case that Durst benefited from a cynical miscarriage of justice, but the audience remains on the story's emotional periphery, interested but not invested. "All Good Things" is creepy and weird and sad, and little else." Ann Hornaday The Washington Posthttp://www.washingtonpost.com/gog/movies/all-good-things,1156295/critic-review.html
