My Blueberry Nights (2007)

IMDb plot summary: A young lonely woman takes a soul-searching journey across America to resolve her questions about love while encountering a series of offbeat characters along the way.
Directed by Kar-Wai Wong. Starring Jude Law, Norah Jones, David Strathairn, and Natalie Portman.

This kind of works as a series of short films but is much less compelling as an overall narrative. Elizabeth’s arc from story to story is mostly unconnected (and I don’t think it’s Norah Jones’ acting inexperience at fault here, it’s a script problem) but the people she finds herself enmeshed with are fascinating, especially David Strathairn’s alcoholic police officer unwilling to accept the demise of his marriage. The bookended pieces are only held together by Jude Law being supernaturally charming.
