A Good Person

A Good Person (2023) is a drama written and directed by Zach Braff that you can watch online on iFILM. Allison was behind the wheel the day a crash killed someone she loved. A year on, her whole life runs on prescription painkillers, and the addiction now outweighs the grief.

Florence Pugh plays a woman who lost not just the people in that car but the version of herself she used to be. Help arrives from an unlikely place. Daniel, the father of the woman who died and Allison's would-be father-in-law, is a recovering alcoholic now raising his teenage granddaughter alone. Morgan Freeman takes the role. Bound by the same loss and the same guilt, the two of them feel their way toward going on.

Braff handles addiction and forgiveness without sermonizing, and hands Pugh room for one of her rawest performances. The film is uneven and sometimes too on-the-nose, yet the Pugh-Freeman pairing earns its runtime. Stream A Good Person (2023) online on iFILM.
