'Good Grief': Netflix's New Drama Explores Grief and Friendship

Directed by Dan Levy, the film follows a widower's journey of self-discovery after the death of his husband.

Netflix's new film 'Good Grief', directed by Dan Levy, explores the themes of grief, friendship, and self-discovery. The film follows the protagonist, Marc, a widower, as he navigates his life after the death of his husband, Oliver.
The film was initially announced as a romantic comedy but turned out to be more of a drama, focusing on the love between friends and found family rather than romantic relationships.
Marc discovers a secret about his late husband, Oliver, which leads him and his two best friends, Sophie and Thomas, to Paris. The trip serves as a catalyst for Marc to confront his feelings and rediscover his purpose in life.
The film has been described as a 'self-absorbed death drama' that has much to say but little to feel, with a focus on Marc's privileged lifestyle and the narcissism that comes with it.
Despite some criticisms, the film has been praised for its exploration of the dynamics of queer relationships and the unique challenges and complexities they present.
