This intelligent, engaging indie introduces very human characters, with seemingly unconnected lives, whose paths cross.

It's entertaining, well-written, slice-of-life stuff, but I'd rather spend 90 minutes with one of these stories than flit between several in a manner that does little to illuminate any of them.

Initially writer/director Jill Sprecher seems to revel in fashionable cynicism, but her ability to look at the lighter side and her discreet faith in human nature eventually win out.

Audience Reviews for Thirteen Conversations About One Thing

Aug 30, 2017Felt dated, slow, and none of the protagonists were likeable. Entertaining nonetheless.Ed K Super Reviewer

Sep 26, 201513 Conversations is an interesting little film. It is neatly filmed with solid acting to the extent that I wonder why I don't find myself rating it higher. Thinking about it, I believe my disappointment is because I had expected that a movie about happiness would be more emotional and more optimistic. Instead, the overall vibe is bittersweet and a bit heavy on the bitter part.Robert B Super Reviewer

Jun 26, 2011Several intertwining stories in this elegant confusion of an ensemble piece of a small film about THE MEANING OF LIFE (only w/o the capital letters). Excellent performances abound.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Apr 13, 2011One of those intertwining ensemble stories that almost makes it but not quite. The titular "one thing" isn't always clear. It could be several things: fortune, happiness, love, guilt, faith, trust, fate, coincidence, et cetera. All the individual stories are really quite beautiful though, with moments of deep elation and moments of inexplicable grief.Alice S Super Reviewer
