A Good Person sees Zach Braff attempt to merge a guilt-ridden recovery drama with 'live, laugh, love' uplift. His toughest, messiest movie spins out of his control. rockmarooned's review:
, now nearly 20 years ago, felt like a filmmaker’s arrival, for better or for worse. Though the movie could be characterized as a more minor-key version of the antics-sentiment combination favored by Braff’s TV vehiclewas so successful, meant so much to so many people as either a micro-generational totem or an emo punching bag, that the film transcended its side-project roots.
territory–physically, if not necessarily spiritually. Once again, a drifting twentysomething protagonist crashes at the home of a parent in New Jersey and sifts through some emotional wreckage in the process. Only in this case, Allison has some literal wreckage to contend with, too. Early in the film, her happiness with her fiancé Nathan is interrupted by a horrific auto accident.
Or, more likely, Pugh is just that good; during a bar scene where she unexpectedly reunites with a couple of former high school acquaintances, she teases out condescension, regrets, desperation and cynicism in a prickly, beguiling cycle. No shade to Natalie Portman’s boundlessly charming performance in, but it’s gratifying to see Braff write a woman this volatile, even bratty in her abdication of responsibility.
