Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst as David and Katie in "All Good Things" (2010)

PLOT : Set against the extravagance and excess of New York City in the 80s, David Marks (Gosling), the son of a powerful real estate tycoon, marries a beautiful working class student, Katie (Dunst). Together they flee the city for country life in Vermont - only to be lured back by David's father. Upon their return, Katie goes back to medical school and begins to make a life for herself. But as Katie becomes increasingly independent, David mysteriously turns more violent and controlling. Family secrets are slowly revealed, just as Katie disappears without a trace. Years later, when David's best friend turns up dead, the 20-year-old case is re-opened, with David as the main suspect, and the Marks family's dark secrets pave the way to a disturbing truth.
