A Good Person Ratings & Reviews
Kevin Ward
July 3, 2025
I am genuinely surprised that people are generally liking this movie. I found this to be extremely melodramatic and the screenplay to be completely lackluster. Some scenes were legitimately hard to watch because of how the dialogue was written—the bar scene with Alex Wolff comes to mind and the club scenes towards the end. Zach Braff’s writing feels like he’s forcibly trying to squeeze any ounce of sentimentality he can into this script. An example being, making Freeman a model trains enthusiast just for the purpose of those bookends with Freeman’s narration. Still the cast nearly saves this…..nearly. Pugh demonstrates a lovely singing voice and most of her scenes with Freeman, Shannon and Uche are performed well and even emotionally moving at times. I just think the film is undercut by the exaggerated characterizations and contrivances in the script. I never once felt like these could be real people.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
A bad movie about unreal people.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
The reason it doesn't become a rambling mess is because Morgan Freeman and Florence Pugh are so damn good.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
It's got its moments, but a very frustrating film overall.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
Pugh has a way of reminding you why a close-up is the single best gift the moving pictures have given us... You don't blame Braff for wanting to craft a movie around her. But you can blame him for the movie itself that surrounds that performance.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
The intimate story is darkly funny and rich, anchored by Pugh's unsparing and deeply satisfying performance. Out of darkness, Braff finds hope and the potential for connection among unlikely (yet deeply likable) characters.
The Jewish Chronicle
Linda Marric
Decidedly forgettable

Nell Minow
Writer/director Zach Braff anchors the film with tender-hearted, touching performances by Morgan Freeman and Florence Pugh.

Sara Michelle Fetters
A Good Person adds schmaltz where it does not belong, and instead of observational distance that could further humanize the events Allison and the others are confronting, Braff forces ghastly treacle down the viewer's throat.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
A Good Person does occasionally spill over into the realm of the mawkish... But on the whole, it's rooted in truths, it tells a human story and its heart is in the right place. It's a good movie.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
It's a haunting slice of real life that will make you think, feel and maybe even want to reach out to your loved ones. As the film vividly shows, they can be gone in a flash.
Boston Globe
Odie Henderson
"A Good Person" highlights the director's inability to deal with heavier material. He punctuates this film's depressing subject matter with hit-or-miss moments of humor and comedy.
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
There are enough moments of grace and threads that defy the obvious cliche to keep you interested, even if you're not wholly buying or invested in every character.
Observer
Emily Zemler
A Good Person is not perfect...But the feeling the movie offers is realistic and sometimes shattering.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Pugh is watchable doing just about anything, including sweating through her shirts as Allison tries to kick her addiction.
New York Times
Brandon Yu
Much of the film reads as a crassly manufactured setup for the arc of redemption and healing that follows.
AV Club
Murtada Elfadl
The drama is a cluster of scenes with bad dialogue and platitudes instead of actual pathos. The comedy comes in when it's uncalled for, breaking whatever genuine emotion the actors worked hard to craft.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
It's a tough indie drama, but A Good Person doesn't wallow in its own tragedy. It beautifully expresses the flaws in human nature and the tangled mess that results from life and death.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Pugh delivers a superb starring performance that serves to accentuate her growing artistic stature and co-star Morgan Freeman turns in his best work in years after appearing in far too many sub-par vehicles.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A work of art such as "A Good Person" cannot be the product of some casual connection. It's the product of a soul connection, and I hope Braff and Pugh get another chance to work together.
