A Good Person trailer: Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman star in Zach Braff’s next emotional drama

Grief comes in many forms, and if you’re not careful, it can consume you, change who you are, and swallow you from the inside out. In Zach Braff’s A Good Person trailer, Allison (Florence Pugh) discovers how one mistake can change the way you look at life, destroy your confidence, and alter the hearts and minds of people you love. A Good Person hits cinemas in March 2023, marking Braff’s first feature film in five years. During that time, Braff lost his father, his sister, and two friends, one of which died of COVID-19. The loss pattern profoundly affected Braff, and now he’s channeling his grief into transformative drama.

In Braff’s A Good Person trailer, we meet Allison, a young woman with a bright future who, after being involved in a horrific accident, emerges from recovery with an opioid addiction and crushing grief. While seeking help for her pain, Allison encounters her would-be-father-in-law (Morgan Freeman), that gives her a chance at redemption. Allison can never take back what she stole, but healing is a process, and it’s never too late to sail along the seas of change toward a better tomorrow.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly about his healing journey, Braff said, “I was just overcome with not only experiencing grief myself, but experiencing how the people closest to the grief were able to stand back up after the tragedy.” Braff adds, “And so that’s what I really wanted to write about.”

Braff was sure to sing Pugh’s praises while talking about her contributions to his new film, telling EW, “Most actors, the director is there to shape them and steer them, and in the edit room you really shape a performance,” he says. “But there’s not a single thing Florence did that isn’t correct, in my brain as the one who wrote it.”

Joining Pugh and Freeman for A Good Person are Molly Shannon (Superstar, Other People), Chinaza Uche (Dickinson, Nigerian Prince), and Celeste O’Connor (Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Freaky).

Folks will want to bring a box of tissues to see Braff’s latest film. A Good Person has the potential to bring the house down, acting as a catharsis for those who let the movie into their heart. Bring it on.
