The first trailer for Zach Braff's A Good Person is here.
Florence Pugh stars as Allison, a young woman whose world falls apart after being involved in a fatal accident. While in recovery for an opioid addiction and unresolved grief, she forms an unlikely friendship with her would-be father-in-law, Daniel (Morgan Freeman) that gives her a fighting chance to put her life back together and move forward.
The film is written and directed by Zach Braff, who produces alongside Pugh. Molly Shannon, Celeste O'Connor, Zoe Lister-Jones, and Chinaza Uche also star.
This marks Braff's first directorial venture since 2014's Wish I Was Here, the follow-up to his 2004 romantic-comedy drama Garden State. A Good Person takes a detour from his first two films, which starred Braff and centered on his character, as well as containing more light-hearted, comedic elements.
"I'd like to do more [directing]," Braff told Vanity Fair in 2021, fresh off his Primetime Emmy Award nomination for directing an episode of Ted Lasso. "I just kind of, for better, for worse, I just go where the wind takes me ... and then the pandemic happened and I wrote this screenplay. And then that came together with Florence [Pugh] and Morgan Freeman."
