Review of A Good Person (2023) by Lindsey Bahr for The Associated Press — 22 Mar 2023
A Good Person seems to belong to a uniquely Dan Fogelman-esque subgenre of hyper sincere melodrama that sometimes clicks (“This Is Us”) and other times does not (“Life Itself”). Braff’s film is worlds better than “Life Itself,” but there are some similarities in how it strives for cosmic significance and ultimate tearjerking within a construct that the film tries to sell as authentically specific.
In execution, it’s a bit more strained and contrived.
