Seemingly inconsequential decisions lead to choices, which lead to more choices... with eventually devastating effect.
Leave your thoughts about Good.
| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanThis film contributes to the important debate about morality in times of political trauma and oppression of personal freedoms |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyDespite Mortensen's heroic effort, Good is simply not good, a failed version of a stylized, powerful play of ideas about the devastating price of conformity. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonNo actor has ever looked less comfortable in a Nazi uniform than Viggo Mortensen does... |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanGood has a stagy fustiness, but it's worth seeing for Mortensen, who makes this study of a 'good German' look creepily contemporary. He shows us the horror of ignorance. |
| New York Magazine/VultureDavid EdelsteinThe subject -- self-deception and failure of nerve in an unjust world -- is too messy and horrible to laugh away. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldPaul ByrnesMortensen ably carries most of the weight, with a minimalist performance. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineThis isn't gritty realism; it's a morality tale, and it's made with quiet passion and real power |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn ambitious move about a Nazi professor played by Viggo Mortensen that never really grabs hold of us because it's difficult to identify with the main character. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenA Good Year is a three-P movie: pleasant, pretty and predictable. One might add piddling. |
| indieWireLeo GoldsmithBears a superficial resemblance to "The Conformist" and "The Garden of the Finzi-Continis," with their sense of dreary complacency, oppressively museum-like spaces, and curiously drab natural settings, but ultimately "Good" is less evocative |
