Synopsis

In A Good Person, Allison (Florence Pugh) 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 (Morgan Freeman) that gives her a fighting chance to put herself back together and move forward with her life.

    I would advise Florence Pugh to start bringing a chiropractor with her on set for the rest of her career.

    We, as a society, cannot continue to allow Florence Pugh to carry entire movies on her back. She’s only 5’4”, that’s too much weight!

    Thanks to killer performances from Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman, A Good Person manages to be an effective experience despite its needlessly long runtime and occasionally clunky execution of its more serious topics. Also often tonally bizarre, but it had a very real…

Two hours witnessing the agony of a guilt-ridden pill addict doesn’t exactly have “good times” written all over it. To make it an experience worth enduring requires something more.

You don’t blame Braff for wanting to craft a movie around [Pugh]. But you can blame him for the movie itself that surrounds that performance, as well as a seriously ludicrous climax — one of several — set in a Williamsburg house party and a coda so self-aggrandizingly lachrymose that you’ll have to resist the urge to scream.
