Good Grief

M, Drama | Directed by Daniel Levy | Watch on Netflix

Good Grief is a quiet film set in the year after the main character’s husband dies unexpectedly on Christmas Eve. As suggested from the title, this film centres around the griefs of Marc and his two friends: the obvious being the death of Marc’s husband, while also including the grief of lost relationships, and a struggle to find purpose. There is an ongoing idea of the characters finding difficulty in being ‘good’—being a good friend, a good partner and facing the loss they encounter well. It didn’t feel like a unique take on the topic, but Good Grief had some understatedly powerful moments with a striking backdrop of London and Paris. (Reviewed by Holly Morton-Chong).
