ALL GOOD THINGS

This is the story of yet another severely dysfunctional filthy rich family with skeletons in their closet.  It's the story (based on true events) of the Marks family (Durst in real life), who owns the more properties in Manhattan than almost anyone else.  They built their fortune from buying up and renting  out skanky tenement apartment buildings in the worst parts of the city. There is Sanford Marks, the father and patriarch, and two sons, David, the elder, and Daniel, the younger.  The story begins in 1971 when David was around 21, and Daniel was around 19.
David, more of a free spirit, never cared for the family business and had no interest in having the torch passed from his father to him.  Instead, he dreamt of moving to the Vermont countryside and opening a health food store, which he did with his charismatic new wife, Katie.  The name of the store they operated was All Good Things.  Hmmmm. . . .
All seems blissfully well at first, but David's family did not approve of the lower-class Katie and wanted David to move back to NYC to join the family business.  Sanford convinced  David that Katie would eventually grow tired of Vermont.  Sanford told him that Katie married him only for his money, and once she sees that the health food store doesn't keep her in the lifestyle she sought, then the marriage would be over.
So back to NYC they go.  And here is where their lives start to come unraveled.  David can't handle the day to day affairs of the business, so he is relegated to a "nothing" position in an out-of-the-way office, collecting a paycheck for just showing up.  The younger Daniel takes the position meant for David.
David, always a little "off," is starting to become more detached and exhibit more and more bizarre behavior, like mumbling to himself and staring off into space.  We find out that there is a horrible memory that he is holding on to involving his mother and what happened to her when David was a child.  This, on top of the unwelcome announcement that Katie is pregnant, sends David over the edge and accelerates the demise of his and Katie's relationship.  David forces Katie to get an abortion, which sends her into a downward spiral from which she never recovers.  The two miserable souls start living separate lives, reconciling every now and then, but never reconnecting.  Katie is showing her independence more and more by going to medical school and becoming a doctor, leaving David to wallow in his miserableness.
Then, in 1982, after eight years of marriage, Katie disappears.
Vanishes without a trace.
Everyone thinks it was David's doing, but he (and no one else for that matter) was ever convicted. The case today remains unsolved.
There is no resolution in this movie, and I never really had any sympathy for any of the characters.  There were no moments of great dialog or OMG scenes.  Kinda dull through and through, which is too bad.  I had high hopes for this movie.  I get more satisfaction from "Forensic Files" on TV.  At least there, I find out who did it.
