Aro Recommended Thirteen Conversations About One Thing

 

USA 2001, 100 minutes
Dir. Jill Sprecher
Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama / Independent

Topics: Philosophy.

 

Aroview: Not just chit-chat, but drama with its philosophical head screwed on, the various lives of middle-class Bostonians (a hot-shot lawyer, an insurance exec, a physics professor, a maid, etc.) intersect through fate and mutual pursuit of the ‘H’ word…

Precisely scripted as both a heightened fable and believable drama, a first-rate ensemble cast (with a standout by Alan Arkin) inhabit well-drawn characters that are each able to hold an interesting conversation. If it does tend to lean on its themes a little too heavily at times (as inferred by the title) it constantly finds a subtle and satisfying pitch between the melancholic and whimsical.
