About Alex

The film stars Nate Parker, Jason Ritter, Maggie Grace and Max Greenfield.

After hearing about Alex’s attempted suicide, his old college friends gather at his family’s country house: Ben and Siri (Maggie Grace), a married couple at a career crossroads; Josh (Max Greenfield), a disenchanted PhD candidate; Sarah (Aubrey Plaza), an un-happy M&A attorney; and Isaac (Max Minghella), a businessman from San Francisco and his date Kate (Jane Levy), who happens to work at a suicide hotline.

Siri confides in Sarah that she may be pregnant, after receiving a dream job offer in Los Angeles.

Empowered by her confrontation with Josh, Sarah later rejects Isaac's advances after he kisses her, citing that she is over him and what he has with Kate is real.

Ben discovers Alex and Siri in the midst of making out (albeit clothed) and flees in Isaac’s rental car but crashes it into a tree.

When Sunday arrives, Isaac offers to invest in Sarah and her culinary ambitions, and they playfully dance around the idea.

As they all prepare to return to their respective lives, Alex announces that he is going to work with Kate at the suicide prevention hotline, and Ben is staying at the house to write for a while.

The website's consensus reads: "About Alex pointedly provokes comparisons to The Big Chill, but the script doesn't have enough substance to support them – or give its talented cast enough to work with.
