In a quiet suburban community where... "Everything Put Together" is the story of the American Dream unraveling. It's a chilling tale that examines the choices people make when faced with tragedy. In a quiet suburban community where every driveway has a minivan, every backyard has a swing set and every neighbor feels safe, something no one is prepared for happens. Angie and Russ are a young married couple at the pinnacle of their dreams and expectations. Their perfect world becomes a nightmare when a day after their baby is born, he dies inexplicably. Rather than rallying to support Angie and Russ, their friends (most of who are pregnant or have small children) block them out of their lives to avoid the discomfort of dealing with the couple's loss. Without her friends and with her marriage disintegrating, Angie is set adrift to deal with her grief alone, sending her on a strange and terrifying journey into madness. Only after a near-fatal collision is Angie able to return her life to some semblance of normalcy and rejoin the social circle. Like Roman Polanski's masterpieces Repulsion and Rosemary's Baby, Marc Forster's Everything Put Together is contemporary horror story following a young woman on her journey through maddening circumstances that turn from bad to downright sinister. It is a searing parable about human frailty, one that resonates powerfully because of disturbing implications about us all. -- © 2001 Vitagraph Films [More]

Aims for genuine discomfort, and it hits the mark with intelligence and style.

Everything Put Together spirals off into some weird Twilight Zone where nothing makes any emotional sense.

The subject matter is queasy, but Radha Mitchell ... is pitch perfect as Angie.

A great example with which to counter the prevailing argument that 'indie cinema' is dead.

The good artistic qualities of “Everything Put Together” far outweigh the poor technical aspects of the film.

"Everything Put Together" does put everything back together in the end, and manages to horrify us in the process.

Despite an evocatively dark-toned DV atmosphere, is too responsible to erupt into the kind of operatic maternal horror it keeps threatening the audience with.

[Foster] shoots this rather grim film like a pretentious horror flick.

None of the actors are given a chance to break through the slow-moving, manipulative script.

A finely acted expressionistic critique of the suburban baby culture and its joys, fears and fetishes.

A deeply unsettling portrait of an awful tragedy and its terrible aftermath.

Spending an hour and a half with a gloomy, static lunatic hardly makes for a scintillating evening out, no matter how pretty she may be.

One of the those low-budget pictures with high impact that seem to pop up out of nowhere to take audiences by surprise.

Though morbidly attuned to the petty cruelties of social embarrassment, the script never transcends its stick figures and creaky mechanics.
