Full Plot Details

Philosophy professor Walter Zarrow is wounded during a mugging. In an effort to escape he rings buzzers indiscriminately, waking Sam, a middle aged father of two having an affair in the city. Sam reluctantly answers Zarrow's pleas, and Zarrow loses consciousness in his arms. Through an exploration of why these men, along with the mugger, and an addict named Joe, come together, we explore New York City. The experience of Zarrow, Sam, Joe and Zarrow's assailant ripple quickly out to include the connected lives of a housewife struggling with alcoholism, a stoner teen desperate to lose his virginity, a brilliant but failed writer fighting addiction, two parents confronting the prospect of terminal illness, and a brilliant grad student who wounds herself to feel alive.

Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 10/10 by Stephen HoldenLacking epic pretensions and modest in scale, running under 90 minutes, Anesthesia is really closer in spirit to Rodrigo García’s delicate 2005 gem, “Nine Lives.” And it doesn’t waste a word or an image.
The Playlist - 9/10 by Rodrigo PerezWell intentioned and commendable, Tim Blake Nelson’s film does not put his dialogue or writing strengths into question. But movies have to convince us on myriad levels, and this can be tough enough as it is.
L.A. Weekly - 9/10 by Amy NicholsonAnesthesia doesn't cast judgment. Instead, Nelson slowly reveals awful things about his characters after we've decided to like them. I admire the film's vigor, even if at times it feels like a cruel, clumsy trick.
Blu-ray.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfStiff and unsatisfying, "Anesthesia" doesn't snap together profoundly, straining to reach a sophisticated examination of desperation and confusion while it offers tedious dramatics typically found in a Lifetime Movie.
AV Club - 8/10 by Mike D'AngeloStill, it’s dispiriting to see him (Nelson) produce something as turgid and heavy-handed as Anesthesia, which employs a dozen or so cardboard characters as mouthpieces for singularly unilluminating thoughts about the ways in which people struggle to bury their unhappiness.
La Nación (Argentina) - 8/10 by Fernando LopezA film that, although is well acted, ends up being scattered, discursive, somewhat disoriented and never finishes articulating. [Full review in Spanish]
Screen International - 7/10 by David D'ArcyAnesthesia comes from the heart, as few films do these days.
JoBlo's Movie Emporium - 7/10 by Chris BumbrayA minor gem with some really strong performances.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by John DeForeThe film is focused enough on relationships not to sound preachy.
Entertainment Weekly - 7/10 by Leah GreenblattThe cast (which includes Glenn Close, Sam Waterston, Kristen Stewart, and Corey Stoll) is strong, but the movie itself is a little exhausting, like a New York cousin to Paul Haggis’ Crash, with a smaller budget and a bigger vocabulary.
