Bill Murray plays Don Johnston, a middle-aged successful computer executive, whose life reaches a crisis point. His girlfriend leaves him and he receives an anonymous letter telling him that he fathered a son 20 years earlier and that his child might come looking for him.
Thus begins a road-trip, spurred by his detective-writer neighbor (Jeffrey Wright) to visit four of his exes (Lange, along with Sharon Stone, Tilda Swinton and Frances Conroy), in an attempt to find the mother of his child.
This is strictly Murray's film - each actress has a brief snippet - and his journey moves on. Independent director Jim Jarmusch has created his most accessible film and it is a quiet and reflective one, brushed with occasional touches of comedy.

Critical Sampling:
"Most comically maximized interlude involves Don's visit with Carmen (Jessica Lange), whose profession as an "animal communicator" for a precious, upscale clientele with pet problems provides quite a few laughs and which gives Murray choice opportunities for comic skepticism." - Todd McCarthy, Variety "Lange's Dr. Carmen is an animal communicator who sees patients with problem-afflicted pets. Judging from the body language exchanged with her assistant (Chloe Sevigny), she now bats for the other side." - Hollywood Reporter Back to Film & Television |
