Good Grief

GOOD GRIEF is a darkly comedic whirlwind, set in Salt Lake City at a Mormon Mortuary. We follow Avery, the estranged daughter of the deceased, who is slowly suffocated by her dysfunctional family at the viewing of her father’s body. Her patience wears thin as her family members continue to make the day about themselves. Eroded with guilt over her father’s last attempt at connection before his suicide, Avery reaches a breaking point which blows the lid off the family’s repressed grief. GOOD GRIEF is a fast paced, overwhelming, emotional portrait of collective grief and the bizarre ways in which we cope.

Directed by Megan Chumbley, Good Grief leans on a strong ensemble — Missy Yager, Ellen Crawford, Craig Cackowski — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 0.
