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.

A Good Person mostly works, thanks to the strength of its performers and its compassionate spirit.

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

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

Jorge Ignacio Castillo

The Canadian Crew

If only the filmmaker had relinquished the rehab template and dared to explore the more obscure corners of a story a hundred times told, A Good Person could have transcended the clichés it's mired on.

Rated: 2/5

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

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.

Bravo for showing the power of believing in something or someone, and acting on those beliefs.
