A snowy New York City night, a beloved teacher, a shocking crime: this provocative drama pieces together the puzzle of a man's life just before it changes forever. While on his way home one evening, Walter Zarrow (Sam Waterston), a popular Columbia University philosophy professor, is violently attacked on the street. Flash back one week, as actor-director Tim Blake Nelson traces the domino effect of events that led up to this seemingly senseless assault. Along the way, hidden connections between a seemingly disparate group of people—including a self-destructive student (Kristen Stewart), a hard-drinking suburban housewife (Gretchen Mol), and a desperate junkie (K. Todd Freeman)—emerge, forming a complex, engrossing mosaic of lost souls united by tragedy. (IFC Films)

I didn't expect much from the movie, to be honest. Basically, my girlfriend and I watched it mainly because Kristen Stewart is in it, and we quite like her. Well, my girlfriend definitely likes her more. But in the end, it turned out that this tangle of fates is so interesting and so well-written that I enjoyed it. It's not just about the actors, but also about what is said and happening.
