Robert Levin Newsday Levy the actor does not give Levy the director/screenwriter what he needed. Rated: 2/4 Jan 31, 2024 Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 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. Rated: 3/5 Jan 18, 2024 Full Review Dwight Brown DwightBrownInk.com There are chuckles, whimsy, flirtations and tragic twists. But in the end, though entertaining and breezy, nothing cuts as deep as it should. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 11, 2024 Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com There’s something warm and hopeful about Good Grief that wraps around your heart in an odd, comforting way. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Nelson Acosta Koimoi Dan Levy delivers a film filled with genuine feelings, even when the situations and the dialogue feel too staged at times, and they might take you out of the film. Rated: 3/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Ben Turner The Pink Lens It might not roll out the belly laughs, but it will certainly make you chuckle even while you’re emoting deeply. Rated: 4/5 Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Jen C How did this get such high reviews? Can't trust this site at all. I loved schitts creek and loved David but this movie was so boring. His silly facial expressions are hard to take seriously and the story was so long and boring. I hope he does another movie but sticks to comedy. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Meghan B I think this film did not get enough credit. Did it fall a little short of what it had the potential to be? Maybe. But it has heart and soul and it was a treat to watch. I think Dan Levy is just getting warmed up. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Lori L A well done movie with heart..Dan Levy is remarkable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review BAR S a decent effort. it kept my interest. Nothing new to see here. but I like DL from TV Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Kim A I loved this movie so much, I watched it two times in one days. ❤️ Dan Levy has quickly become one of my favorite actors and I can’t wait to see more from him. He is an actor who can reach people on so many levels and I’m thankful for the work put into this film and others like it. Watching it helped me feel feelings I didn’t know I needed to experience and express. I didn’t realize how numb I had become, barely making it through each day, wanting for it to be night so I could sleep again. It might sound dramatic but this helped me be able to actually cry and start to grieve for my very different experience, yet similar feelings. I love music and films and am thankful for how they improve and enrich my life. Can’t wait to see what other work this brilliant set of artists create. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Pedro Henrique C Simply an everyday story that happens to someone in the world Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
