Critics Consensus

A solid first feature for writer-director Dan Levy, Good Grief offers a generally affecting look at love after death whose refreshing sincerity only occasionally veers into sentimentality.

Levy the actor does not give Levy the director/screenwriter what he needed.

3/5

This might have been a sterner film if another actor played Marc and Levy applied more scrutiny to the character, but he’s done enough here to establish himself as a filmmaker.

2.5/4

There are chuckles, whimsy, flirtations and tragic twists. But in the end, though entertaining and breezy, nothing cuts as deep as it should.

6/10

Good Grief asks the question: How do you continue grieving a loved one after they hurt you? Levy only provides a generic answer for whatever reason, but at least he had the good sense to cast a stellar ensemble to carry this project through.

3/5

Though lacking the emotional impact intended, Dan Levy’s Good Grief effectively captures the beauty of friendship and the importance of self-discovery after a tragic loss.
