A Good Person

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Busy, baggy, and schmaltzy, A Good Person proves that the best of intentions and terrific performances can sometimes add up to a movie that's merely fine.

Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/23 Full Review Annie Excellent portrayals by ALL the actors/characters!! Bravo for showing the power of believing in something or someone, and acting on those beliefs. ALSO . . . excellent way to show a variety of ways people cope with grief, anger, and the importance of forgiveness.

A Good Person | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Wenlei Ma News.com.au A Good Person mostly works, thanks to the strength of its performers and its compassionate spirit. Rated: 3/5 Apr 24, 2023 Full Review A Good Person | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald The pleasure lies in watching Pugh and Freeman face up and finally come around to one another. It’s not straightforward, a dance of advance and retreat with both revealing their strengths and weaknesses, but it’s always worth watching. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 20, 2023 Full Review A Good Person | Rotten Tomatoes (3) David Stratton The Australian Pugh gives a mesmerising performance and Freeman, for once cast in a very substantial role, is better than he’s been in several years. Rated: 4/5 Apr 15, 2023 Full Review A Good Person | Rotten Tomatoes (4) David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment Has everything that you would expect from a Zach Braff film - a good screenplay and a great soundtrack. This one will keep you guessing with all of its twists and turns. Morgan Freeman, Florence Pugh and Celeste O'Connor are amazing throughout. Rated: 4/5 Dec 16, 2023 Full Review A Good Person | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Nadine Whitney The Curb Braff has not grown as a filmmaker or writer and still believes putting a bunch of indie songs over a scene is enough to make it dramatically coherent. Still, for those who love Florence Pugh, her performance will not disappoint even if the film does. Sep 6, 2023 Full Review A Good Person | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Farah Cheded A Good Movie To Watch Though Pugh does her customary excellent work here, she’s ultimately undermined by all the overlong, transparently manufactured, and downright whiplash-inducing melodrama around her.
