These are interwoven stories of isolated people whose lives intersect in little ways as they each search for happiness despite the complexities of life, luck, and unpredictability.
Gene (Alan Arkin) is an insurance company middle-manager who suffers in quiet desperation over his lot in life. His sadness comes from his career drive which ultimately lead to a profound breach with his troubled son and his own divorce many years before.
A hot shot young lawyer (Matthew McConaughey) makes a bad mistake one night and is deeply haunted by his sudden loss of happiness. His physical transformation and expressions powerfully and profoundly reflect his angst.
Bea (Clea DuVall) is an innocent and spiritual young woman who is seriously damaged in an accident. A physics professor (John Torturro) and his wife (Amy Irving) deal with infidelity.
Written by sisters Karen Sprecher and Jill Sprecher; directed by Karen Sprecher.
Rated R for language and brief drug use.
My personal rating: B
