GOODRICH MOVIE REVIEW
What if you were so into your life’s work that the life you were living happened as if you were on the outside looking in? What if you were SO into your work that you’d often step away from the outside looking in completely? Written and directed by Hallie Meyers-Shyer, Goodrich is a slice of life story about a man whose excuses come first, and family comes second. Andy Goodrich (Michael Keaton), whose career as an art dealer has sidelined his life, has just discovered that his beloved wife and partner has checked herself into rehab. His daughter Grace (Mila Kunis) from a first marriage doesn’t seem to be surprised about this bombshell. As Andy’s life slowly unravels he calls on Grace to help him struggle to keep it all together. Unbeknownst to him, Grace has her own struggles with a spouse and first child on the way. The Goodrich Art expo is on the edge of financial ruin and his current marriage is driving down the road to splitsville. It will take more then leaning on Grace to become the father and husband he never was. Bradly, Neil, and Rae discuss this unique character study of a pretty charming and nice guy who’s made selfish choices, how long overdue conversations can grow into the biggest wedges between friends and family, and how Michael Keaton is having a fantastic year with old and new roles alike.
DIRECTED BY: Hallie Meyers-Shyer
STARRING: Michael Keaton, Mila Kunis, Carmen Ejogo, Michael Urie, Kevin Pollak, Vivien Lyra Blair, Nico Hiraga, Danny Deferrari, Laura Benanti, Andie MacDowell, Poorna Jagannathan
YOUR REVIEWERS
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.
Lyrae Anderson (Screener Squad)
You can call me Rae. You can also call me a film lover. I’ll watch it all — small screen; big screen, and everything in between. I have attended and worked for Fantastic Fest and South by Southwest for many years. I married a film geek as well. While we don’t agree on everything, we agree on our love of movies.
Neil Anderson (Screener Squad)
I first got hooked on movies when I saw Star Wars at a drive-in theater as a kid. Growing up in a small, rural town meant not having access to a lot of movies. In college, that all changed. I couldn’t get enough. I love it all — flicks, films, movies, and cinema. I still have that wide-eyed wonder of that kid watching movies from the back of a pick-up truck at the drive-in.
