The Good House follows Hildy Good (Sigourney Weaver), a wry New England realtor and descendant of the Salem witches, who loves her wine and her secrets. Her compartmentalized life begins to unravel as she rekindles a romance with her old high-school flame, Frank Getchell (Kevin Kline), and becomes dangerously entwined in one person's reckless behavior. Igniting long-buried emotions and family secrets, Hildy is propelled toward a reckoning with the one person she's been avoiding for decades: herself.

Critics Consensus

The Good House creaks in spots, but with Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver providing load-bearing performances, it's far from a fixer-upper.

Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times You might not buy all the plot machinations, but as for the sight of Weaver and Kline together again: That’s an easy sell. Rated: 3/4 Oct 1, 2022 Full Review Thelma Adams AARP Movies for Grownups The pair generate heat and heart connection in a mature sleeper that’s ultimately about the struggle to live an authentic life. Rated: 4/5 Sep 30, 2022 Full Review Christy Lemire RogerEbert.com Even when the film falters, Weaver consistently finds room to explore the many fascinating flaws revealed by her character’s addiction. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 30, 2022 Full Review Maxance Vincent InSession Film If you crave something deeper, and more meaningful, this will not be the movie for you. Rated: C+ Mar 6, 2024 Full Review David Bax Battleship Pretension The Good House has all the ingredients. They’ve just been overcooked. Apr 26, 2023 Full Review Ruth Maramis FlixChatter Film Blog File this under movies that start slow but get better as it progresses, topped with a satisfying ending. Sigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline's reunion is definitely the reason to see this. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 2, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Susan D All the actors in this have done so much better than this! What happened? Script? Direction? Editing? What a waste. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/19/22 Full Review Stephen Excellent performances. A treat to see a non-Marvel film, a film w/o Roman numerals following the title - a nice film for the adult crowd. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/26/22 Full Review Day The subject matter, alcoholics and family disfunction, was barely hinted at in commercials and write-ups. It made me uncomfortable. Wish I'd known. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/22/22 Full Review Mona It was honest and timely. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/22 Full Review Elizabeth Acting was good, scenery was beautiful, real life situations, ending made you think, be more aware of life issues. Well done Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/22 Full Review Yuriy Great movie! Go to watch this movie tomorrow! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/22 Full Review Read all reviews
