New York investment banker Davis Mitchell (Gyllenhaal) is sleepwalking through a life of easy success when a horrible car crash wakes him with a start. Friends and family gather round to console him, but Davis seems to feel nothing. As Davis finds himself undertaking a campaign of random acts of destruction, dismantling everything from household appliances to an office washroom stall, he and Karen (an employee at a vending machine company who are one of these sources of Mitchell’s spleen) forge a strange and beautiful alliance. Both put their own interests at risk — but what they discover in the aftermath may prove far more valuable. By turns hilarious and devastating, original study of grief comes from acclaimed director Jean Marc Vallée (Wild, The Dallas Buyer’s Club).
