Angie (Radha Mitchell) and her husband Russ (Justin Louis) live a quiet suburban life. At the film's opening, Angie, along with her best friends Judith (Catherine Lloyd Burns) and Barbie (Megan Mullally), who also happen to be pregnant, gleefully discuss morning sickness and baby showers. After her textbook delivery to a healthy boy, the doctor pulls Russ aside and whispers something in his ear. Angie's worst fears are confirmed when she learns that her child suddenly died, a victim of sudden infant death syndrome. In spite of loving support from her husband and friends, Angie quickly spirals into a deep depression and begins developing morbid obsessions, such as going to morgue to examine her baby, visiting the place where her child's toys are buried, and watching children at play in the park. Shot on digital video, the film features an intense emotionally immediacy. This film was screened at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Emanuel Levy, Variety
A riveting haunting chronicle of a young mother who's lost her baby (a splendid Radha Mitchell), the film lacks sharp narrative but has emotional immediacy and intensity and displays the voice of a gifted director, Marc Forster, a major talent to watch
-
, Chicago Tribune
Everything Put Together takes a couple of curious turns that you will either applaud or hiss at, depending on the type of film you are looking for.
-
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News
Aims for genuine discomfort, and it hits the mark with intelligence and style.
-
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle
The subject matter is queasy, but Radha Mitchell ... is pitch perfect as Angie.
-
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
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.
