AGoodPerson Review: Pugh & Freeman Are Excellent In Braff's Poignant Drama
Redemption, guilt, and grief are themes often explored in films. But they aren’t always handled effectively. A Good Person, written and directed by Zach Braff, leans into its themes and sits in them long enough so that its characters’ journeys aren’t short-changed for an easy, neat ending. Braff assembles a fabulous cast, led by Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman, which lends the film proper gravitas.
They are two sides of the same coin, especially in that they firmly believe they are good people regardless of their actions. To that end, A Good Person gets to the heart of each of their conflicts without forcing it. The film is quite emotional, and it’s hard to watch Allie and Daniel struggle. What’s pertinent here is that they aren’t particularly asking for redemption, but it is apparent in everything they do.
