“A Good Person” — written and directed by Zach Braff — stars Academy Award-nominee Florence Pugh and Academy Award-winner Morgan Freeman.
Sometimes we find hope where we least expect it.
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.
Braff crafts a film about complicated characters who work to overcome tragedy while confronting personal failings and reaching for redemption and forgiveness — and who try to laugh and love through it all.
“I wanted to take on grief and addiction, and a story about people standing back up after tragedy,” says Braff. “And I wanted to find a way to tackle it with some humor and heart.”
