Ryan Gosling is one of the top actors of his generation. Frank Langella is at the top of the list in his. And the two of them together are well worth watching. "All Good Things" is not all good, but it's definitely worth a look.

The film is based on the true story of Robert Durst, the son of a wealthy NYC real-estate mogul, whose wife disappeared mysteriously and was never found. The husband was suspected but never tried for her murder.

David Marks (Gosling) is the son who would rather open a health food store in the backwoods than collect rent from his father's Times Square

tenants. His young wife, Katie (Kirsten Dunst) shares her husband's dreams of a smaller life but loves him enough to follow him into the fast lane, and some of the perks make it easier to bear. Katie begins to enjoy the fancy NYC apartment, the expensive lunches, the getaway cottage...and the cocaine. But David's life is spinning out of control, and he begins taking it out on Katie. He's not cut out for his father's business, and his dad (the always powerful Langella) never fails to remind him. What were once just odd little quirks in David's behavior become terrifying tantrums and abuse, and Katie wants out of the marriage. She disappears under mysterious circumstances, and the rest of the film is a guess as to what role David and his friends and family may have played. And then it gets stranger and stranger and stranger, but I'd follow Gosling most anywhere, even here.

If you want to see Gosling's best work, rent his Oscar-nominated turn in "Half Nelson." If you want to see his quirkiest side, enjoy the oddly charming "Lars and the Real Girl." If you want gritty realism, see "Blue Valentine," out now. But if you're in the mood for even more Gosling, this might be for you.
