Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

elephantsfoot1 i love the title, yes there are interweaving meetings, coincidence, fate, happiness, sadness,jealousy, resentment, or different portrayals of peoples approaches to the above (in their eyes) yet the 'one thing' to me is LIFE! that's how i saw it anyway.Life is a multitude of experiences and there was no definition of what 'one thing ' is , so its best not to judge the meaning before watching. hope i've not said too much.you do have to watch this film, i started to try and fit all of it into a one meaning, then realized it wasn't all like that. beautiful film! life is like that. McConaughey is great, he is one of my favourites at the moment.

thekarmicnomad This is a great film if you have a lot of patience and are OK with zero action.It is a massive character study, the closest comparison I can make is Magnolia. 13 Conversations lack the heavy hitting stars and soundtrack of Magnolia so has to rely more on the characters. This makes it a little more gritty, less polished but equally as satisfying.Magnolia also has a focused event at its heart making it quite a structured film. This isn't, there is no one big event that ties it altogether. The characters live their lives, sometimes their stories collide, brush against one another or completely diverge.This lack of structure really comes down to a taste. If a character's life is effected by the actions of a stranger don't naturally assume that stranger will be named or their story weaved in later on. It is possible they will never be mentioned again. This keeps you guessing and makes the film unpredictable. But it does leave loose ends that some people may find irritating.

futures-1 Like many films of the last few years, this one has a complex, multi-layered, interwoven story structure, but it's worth the effort to follow. It IS a film in which you literally listen to "13 conversations about one thing" – a film which is both linear and non-linear at the same time. It is definitely worth your viewing. Expect a film that is moody, downbeat, and thoughtful, yet tinted with optimism that ALL of the characters seem only begin glimpsing. You'll want to SLAP them sometimes! The acting is good (many stars), the scoring very supportive, the photography rich, and the lessons to be learned: very useful. Pay attention.

hubcap18 I just don't quite "get" this film, nor do I see where all the positive reviews came from. I decided to check out this film because I like Clea DuVall's work (The Faculty, Identity, and Girl, Interrupted) and the premise sounded kind of interesting. Alan Arkin gives a good performance, but he can't save this film. The film is comprised of vignettes focus on four basic groups of characters: lawyers, office workers, cleaning ladies, and College professors and students. But almost nothing exciting or remarkable happens in this film, nothing that really made me wonder what would happen next or how this film would turn out. All I wanted was for this film to finally end, but I fell asleep before then and had to use the scene selection. Overall, this was a pretty dull viewing experience.
