Movie Info

Feeling trapped in the stifling, wealthy enclave of Westport, Conn., a man retires from his job in finance and leaves his wife in the hopes that it will renew his lust for life. He befriends a drug-addicted teen, sending him down a path of reckless, regrettable behavior. His shameful actions cause him to question who he is as a father and, ultimately, who he is as a person.

Audience Reviews for The Land of Steady Habits

  • Jan 14, 2019
    One of the better movies about suburban ennui. Holofcener understands that each character's unhappiness is deeper than mere dissatisfaction.
