Damon Wise

Deadline Hollywood Daily

Mostly serves as a decent vehicle for Nick Jonas, who seems to making a play to be the new Adam Driver, which is not as far-fetched as it might sound.

David Gonzalez

The Cinematic Reel

It was hard not to be excited for Schwartzman’s next film, The Good Half. With that expectation came a film that went toe-to-toe with an incredibly moving tale of grief, mourning, and guilt over the inability to say goodbye.

Rated: 3.5/5

Solzy at the Movies

The Good Half walks a fine line in dealing with grief and humor but the end result is a film that one can resonate with.

Rated: 3.5/5

Kyndall Cunningham

The Daily Beast

From its formulaic plot to its mechanical dialogue and one-dimensional characters, The Good Half is as generic and uncurious as a movie about grief and masculinity can get.
