A Good Person (2023)

‘A Good Person’s addiction drama is carried by Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman. Zach Braff’s latest drama rests heavily on his preoccupations with flawed humans struggling to make connections. Along with his particular style and focus on characters looking to fix something broken within themselves, Braff has developed a welcome ability to cast and put trust in some excellent actors. From his first outing, which gave Natalie Portman a chance to shine (albeit in a role many criticized as a cliched “manic pixie dream girl” serving to help Braff’s main character Andrew find his own life path), the director has two stellar lead performers.
