In A Good Person, Allison is a young woman with a bright future — a wonderful fiancé, a blossoming career, and supportive family and friends. But her world crumbles in the blink of an eye when she survives an unimaginable tragedy and emerges from recovery with an opioid addiction and unresolved grief. In the following years, it is the unlikely friendship she forms with her would-be father-in-law that gives her a fighting chance to put herself back together and move forward with her life.

Going in Style didn’t really wow me, so I approached Zach Braff's new film with low expectations. But, in the end, I was quite satisfied. I wasn’t blown away — the film didn't dive as deep as I’d hoped. It focused heavily on various addictions, and I would have liked more interaction and dialogue between Allison and Daniel. Still, it wasn’t a bad movie, and I almost gave it four stars. What I found particularly interesting was the portrayal of a person who sentences himself to life imprisonment for causing the deaths of two people, despite trying to downplay or deny his guilt. It made me think of all those unfortunate souls whose traumatic childhoods led them to commit murder as adults, and who then mock the victims' families during their usually mild sentences. I doubt Braff intended this, but his film prompted these thoughts, and I credit him for that. / Lesson learned: I’ll borrow a quote from the movie: "Comparison is the thief of joy." 3*+

It's been a while since I've given a drama a five-star rating, but this one absolutely nailed it. During the pandemic, Zach Braff wrote a perfect dramatic story encapsulating everything troubling today's America — alcoholism, veterans adjusting to civilian life, and OxyContin addiction. He took his time, chose his cast carefully, and created this flawless drama. Besides the excellent script, Braff scored a major coup by casting Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman in the lead roles, elevating the story to near perfection with their completely natural performances. Freeman delivers his usual stellar performance, while Pugh continues to surprise with her talent. A Good Person tackles current, pressing issues and is a must-watch for anyone grappling with sadness. It’s a poignant reminder that things can always get worse.
