In a quiet suburban community where everything is peaceful and in its place, a single crack has just appeared. Angie and Russ are a young married couple with a bright future. Angie is pregnant and expecting to join her circle of friends in happy motherhood, but fate has other plans.

Film Overview
"Everything created" is an intense thriller-drama film that was launched in 2001. The motion picture was directed by Marc Foster and is separately produced. The lead character Angie is portrayed by Radha Mitchell. The movie offers a gripping and disturbing exploration of sorrow, isolation, and down spiral into madness.

Plot
The story orbits around Angie, who is an anticipating mother within a tight-knit rural neighborhood. Her life is filled with wondrous scenes of infant showers and conversations about parenthood until a devastating event effectively shatters her world.

In a twist of tragic fate, Angie and Russell's newborn passes away from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Consequently, the cocooned convenience of Angie's suburban common life begins to disintegrate around her. Angie sticks onto her grief and mourning, refusing to let go amidst rising pressure to carry on which causes buddies and support groups to alienate her.

Fascinating Twists and Subjective Reality
In the face of this disaster, her buddies, instead of offering compassion, withdraw from her and separate her entirely. Their retreat seems to come from an unreasonable fear that Angie's misery is infectious. The movie's turning point comes when Angie's reality ends up being almost unrecognizable, as she slips into a grim vortex of semi-maddened solitude and her surroundings begin to mirror her mental disarray.

The surreal obscurity of the plot increases when the story subtly suggests that her suburban circle may be disappearing. It leaves the audience not sure whether these are accurate occasions or figments of Angie's shattered psyche, making us question the reality within Angie's metaphorical psychological 'home'.

Perceptive Encapsulation of Loneliness and Isolation
As Angie descends into her horrible delirium, the movie effectively encapsulates her extreme loneliness and seclusion with disturbing horror undertones. Her pals' indifference and rejection, her own emotional chaos and her desperate efforts at reconciling her inner pain with the world outside provide extensive insight into the depths of solitary misery.

Performances and Reception

On the other hand, Megan Mullally, Catherine Lloyd Burns and Jacqueline Heinze all enliven Angie's erstwhile social group with efficiencies that skillfully evoke the cold and removed ambivalence of the faceless masses towards specific suffering and sorrow.

On its release, "Everything Put Together" was well received by critics and audiences alike.
