A Good Person

A Good Person is a compelling drama written and directed by Zach Braff that follows a young woman’s struggle to crawl out from paralyzing self-hatred. Allison (Florence Pugh) has a wonderful fiancé, a blossoming career, supportive family and friends. However, her world crumbles in the blink of an eye when she survives an unimaginable tragedy, emerging from recovery with an opioid addiction and unresolved grief. In the following years, she forms an unlikely friendship with her would-be father-in-law (Morgan Freeman) that gives her a fighting chance to put her life back together and move forward. The film also stars Molly Shannon and Chinaza Uche. [2022, US, 128 min, Rating: R] Kelly Anne Taylor of the Radio Times says, “This is a film that belongs to its leads. Pugh gives a visceral portrayal of a young person who has succumbed to addiction, and Freeman is haunting as the sharp-tongued, stern ex-police officer who has a dark past of his own.” Venue: Cinema Art Theater.
