Watch American Pastoral

This crime drama is based on the 1997 Philip Roth novel of the same name. It concerns a former high school athlete whose life begins to fall apart when his daughter goes missing after being accused of committing a crime. The film stars Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting) as the central character and Jennifer Connelly (Labyrinth) as his wife. Dakota Fanning (War of the Worlds) portrays the missing daughter. McGregor also directed the film, which debuted in October 2016. While critics gave McGregor credit for the style of his work, most reviews argued that the film did not do justice to the complexity of the novel.
