Director: Zach Braff
Grief and guilt collide in "A Good Person," a 2023 drama-comedy where an unexpected bond with an estranged future father-in-law becomes the unlikely path back to living.
What is A Good Person about?
Allison's carefully planned future collapses after she's involved in a devastating car accident that changes the course of several lives at once. Isolated by shame and unable to shake the weight of what happened, she withdraws from the people closest to her, including the family she was about to join by marriage. A tentative, awkward connection forms with Daniel, her would-be father-in-law, a man carrying his own private struggles and regrets. Neither expects the other to matter, yet their conversations slowly chip away at the walls both have built, pushing each of them toward a harder, more honest reckoning with loss, responsibility, and what it actually takes to move forward.
Cast & crew
Florence Pugh stars as Allison, with Morgan Freeman as Daniel anchoring the film's central relationship. Molly Shannon, Celeste O'Connor, Zoe Lister-Jones, Chinaza Uche, Toby Onwumere, and Nichelle Hines complete the supporting ensemble.
