A modern divorce story.
Otto Wall is just a little unlucky in life, and unbeknownst to him, in love. When his wife suddenly asks for a divorce, he bounces between a search for answers, desperate attempts to stay connected to his daughter, and his fateful reentry into the dating pool.
"Goodbye to All That," a poignant 2014 film produced by Epoch Films and IFC Films, delves into the complexities of modern relationships and the trials of single parenthood. Directed by Angus MacLachlan, the movie follows Otto Wall, portrayed by Paul Schneider, as he navigates the aftermath of his divorce and the challenges of co-parenting his young daughter, Edie. Set against the backdrop of a quaint American town, the film captures the essence of Otto's journey with a blend of humor and heartfelt moments, making it a relatable and touching narrative for audiences. The film's strength lies in its authentic portrayal of Otto's emotional landscape. As he grapples with the end of his marriage, Otto's character development is both subtle and profound, showcasing his growth from a somewhat aimless man to a more responsible and self-aware father. The chemistry between Schneider and the young actress playing Edie, Audrey Scott, adds a layer of realism that enhances the film's emotional impact. Their interactions are filled with genuine warmth and the occasional tension that mirrors the ups and downs of real-life parent-child relationships. "Goodbye to All That" also explores the theme of new beginnings, as Otto tentatively steps into the dating world and forms new connections. The film does not shy away from depicting the awkwardness and vulnerability that come with starting over, yet it does so with a light touch that keeps the narrative engaging. The supporting cast, including Melanie Lynskey and Ashley Hinshaw, bring depth to their roles, contributing to the film's rich tapestry of human experiences and relationships. In essence, "Goodbye to All That" is a beautifully crafted film that resonates with anyone who has faced the trials of love, loss, and the quest for personal growth. Its honest depiction of life's messiness, combined with moments of hope and resilience, makes it a standout piece of contemporary cinema. Epoch Films and IFC Films have successfully brought to life a story that, while specific in its setting and characters, speaks to universal themes of change and the enduring power of family.
