13 Conversations About One Thing

A vry uneven movie, it loses it's own message trying to be artful and clever with the storyline. But still, there are many great moments in the film.

Not as thought-provoking as it aspires to be, but a good watch nonetheless. As is often the case with these multiple-plot movies, all of the stories feel underdeveloped, with the exception of the Alan Arkin thread, which seems to get the most screen time.

Not very memorable, but not extremely bad. Turturro is always nice to watch, and so was Arkin. DuVall wasn't that good, and the artsy farsty music got annoying after a while

Contrived and uninteresting, it offers very little insight into the human condition, instead presenting a number of forced coincidences whose aggregrate message seems to be "life is unpredictable, cyclical, and connected; one day a man is happy, the next day he is sad", the same cliched pronouncements that you can find at the end of most Greek tragedies (and they were kind of hackneyed even then)

It's like a Solondz film, only replacing insight and humor with sad contrivances. Everyone involved puts in decent to great performances, which makes it watchable, just not very good.
