Screener Squad: Good Grief

Good Grief movie review

GOOD GRIEF MOVIE REVIEW

On a late night talk show, a famous west end actor recounted the grief felt when his mother passed away. In summation he said “…So, I hope this grief stays with me because it’s all the unexpressed love that I didn’t get to tell her”. Wise words from a thespian that is not a part of the cast of this movie. Netflix presents a film written, directed, and starring Dan Levy, Good Grief. The story follows a suddenly widowed artist named Marc (Levy) whose young adult novelist husband Oliver (Luke Evans) passes away in a tragic accident after a Christmas Party. After a year of grieving, Marc finds himself in Paris in an apartment that his late beloved owned on the downlow. Accompanied by his best friends Sophie (Ruth Negga) and Thomas (Himesh Patel), the trio will discover things about Oliver they never knew, and more importantly discover things about themselves, their friendship, and the enduring power of love. Bradly, Frank, and Drew open up and discuss the success of Dan Levy’s Schitt’s Creek, the movie star-power of Ruth Negga, and get personal with their own life tragedies like love, loss, and jury duty.

Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)

Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.

 

 

Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad)

Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
