SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Like All Good Things, it studies a privileged, deeply disturbed man through a chilly, patient true-crime lens, letting unease accumulate in the gaps between public respectability and private control.
02
Why this pick
Its elegant period surfaces, class insecurity and psychologically unstable central figure create a similarly polished but increasingly oppressive portrait of identity, desire and deception.
03
Why this pick
Andrew Jarecki’s documentary has the same forensic fascination with affluent-family mythology, contradictory accounts and the unknowability beneath a composed public image.
04
Why this pick
A marriage relocates into apparent prosperity only to become a pressure chamber of financial ambition, isolation and disturbing emotional volatility; its measured, wintry tension closely fits All Good Things.
05
Why this pick
This restrained snowbound crime drama shares the gradual-dread structure: intimate relationships are corroded as secrecy, fear and self-justification draw ordinary lives toward catastrophe.

01 / THE STORY
In 1970s New York City, David Marks (Gosling), the son of a powerful real estate tycoon, marries Katie McCarthy (Dunst), a beautiful working-class student. Together they flee New York for country life in Vermont, setting up a health food store called 'All Good Things' — only to be lured back by David's father (Frank Langella) who preys upon David's insecurities by telling him that Katie deserves more than he's currently giving her. Upon their return, Katie and David buy a beautiful apartment and Katie brings up the idea of having children. David implies he can't have any. After buying a lake house out of town, Katie confesses to their pregnant neighbor that she is expecting as well. When Katie tells David the good news, he responds by throwing things and then breaks down at the thought of being a parent. After forcing Katie to make an appointment for an abortion, David misses the appointment while doing work for his father.
