With some frequency, films with a lenitive intent come out, which seek to replace oxycodone with a support similar to that provided by AMA groups or rehab centers. More rarely they don't get stuck in the shallows of authoriality or blackmail. During the Covid period Zach Braff began to write, direct and act with his then girlfriend Florence Pugh a drama that can be of relief for those who are experiencing pain, suffering, mourning. It takes skill and he proves that he has it.… Expand

The chemistry between Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman is the best thing about this movie about addiction, loss, and how to recover from both by accepting help from others.

Pugh does not disappoint as a woman whose life falls apart after a terrible accident, and she certainly manages to get into the role physically and emotionally. It's also nice to see Freeman in an interesting one after a long time, and most surprising of all, he makes it look all too easy.

Zach Braff, who enamored independent film lovers with 'Garden State' a long time ago, delivers a decent film in which the performances are the best part. The script, unfortunately, doesn't live up every time. Although the first two acts navigate the delicate territory of representing an existence as an addict well, the third reaches exaggerated, predictable, and somewhat problematic levels, leaving the exploration of the topic on a superficial level.

And although the story overstays its welcome, the team that Pugh and Freeman make allows you to get to the end.… Expand

Zach Braff made a film almost two decades ago that gave him some credit in indie circles. A credit that has worked for him so far.

I never thought much of Garden State, but that's really the least of it, the issue here is that Braff even with two more films on his resume as a director seems to have learned very few lessons and that's reflected in his weathered conventionalism.

A Good Person isn't a parade of clichés, but rather a ritual of familiar symptoms to which he cannot imprint an identity that would evoke the key points of a drama of this kind, which are honesty and empathy.
If it fails to connect the audience with emotions, it will hardly achieve anything. Even when the audience knows in advance that you are manipulating them to do so.

Florence Pugh has the talent to move the material forward, and while that doesn't save the whole project for her former partner, it does at least provide him with two important things.
One that the film won't die in obscurity and two that the experience will not be too disappointing.
Beyond that, you're not missing out on anything particularly valuable.… Expand

Most scenes seem contrived and unnatural and the believability of the actors and action stretches my credulity. All in all, we'd give this a "don't waste your time."… Expand
