Review of The Good Girl (2002) by Neil B — 07 Aug 2010
Pretty solid performance from Aniston. Jake Gyllenhaal as Holden is oh-so-intense and romantic. I don't get why Justine doesn't tell the truth about her affair. Is it to mean she's not really a good girl? She clearly feels guilty over Holden's death, but the last shot of her smiling at the baby seems like, "Oh, now all that's over.
I can just live my life." That tone seems fitting for a much darker there-is-no-goodness-in-the-world type movie. The alternate ending reveals more of her remorse.
