Answers to Nothing
Directed by Matthew Leutwyler
USA / 2011 / 123 minutes
World Premiere
SYNOPSIS:
Featuring a stellar ensemble performance from Dane Cook, Elizabeth Mitchell, Julie Benz, Barbara Hershey and Zach Gilford, Answers to Nothing is a gritty drama of inter-weaving stories set in Los Angeles against the backdrop of a child kidnapping case. Intertwining stories that explore the bad in the best of us and the good in the worst of us, the story follows five days in the life of a woman whose determination to get pregnant keeps her from confronting her husband’s infidelity and a detective assigned to the case of the child abduction. Meanwhile, a school teacher and his obsession with the missing child pushes him to the edge of vigilantism while a beat cop grieves over the violent death of his wife. A recovering addict and her wheel chair bound brother prepare for the LA marathon while a self-loathing African American TV writer searches for love. All these lives weave a path toward an imminent collision as they search for meaning and redemption and affect each other in ways they don’t always see.

Whatever happens, I'm sure she's going to give a good performance. 
She looks so pretty in them and I love her outfit in the second one. 
I think I may have to add them to the OP.
