Netflix today revealed the official trailer (below) for the upcoming film Good Grief coming to select theaters December 29th and then on the streaming platform January 5th, 2024. In addition to writing and starring, Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek) also directs, making Good Grief his directorial feature debut. “I needed to do this. I needed to crack the seal on a screenplay, and this felt so personal to me,” Levy tells Tudum.
It also stars Ruth Negga (Preacher), Himesh Patel (Yesterday), Celia Imrie (Better Things), David Bradley (Harry Potter film franchise), Arnaud Valois (120 BPM), Emma Corrin (The Crown), Kaitlyn Dever (No One Will Save You), and Luke Evans (Nine Perfect Strangers).
Synopsis
Marc (Daniel Levy) was content living in the shadow of his larger-than-life husband, Oliver (Luke Evans). But when Oliver unexpectedly dies, Marc’s world shatters, sending him and his two best friends, Sophie (Ruth Negga) and Thomas (Himesh Patel), on a soul-searching trip to Paris that reveals some hard truths they each needed to face. Good Grief marks Levy’s debut as a feature-film writer and director. He also produced as part of Not a Real Production Company, alongside Sister Pictures.
“Good Grief is a cautionary tale about friendship and loss and all the mess that comes with it when the truth is something you’ve evaded for most of your life. It’s funny, it’s bittersweet, it’s a project that’s helped me work through my own grief. And I hope it does the same for other people as well,” Levy also told Tudum.
