Movie Reviews of The Good Girl
Movie Review: Mike White at his best
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like Mike White's work (screenwriter), you will love and "get" this. If you don't, you won't. The reviewers that do not like this movie, to my mind, just don't get it, which is fine. It will not be to everyone's taste. I don't know if this is a true independent film or not, but is it surely in the spirit of the best independent films. It is dark, ironic, unsettling. Very original, uncliched. I have seen it about four times now, counting the voice over commentaries, and have gotten more out of it each time. Jennifer Anniston is fabulous. As others have said, it is a career changing role. I have not been a big JA fan, but I am now. Nuanced. Subtle. Disarming. Bravo. Virtually every performance is outstanding.Movie Review: Good girl - Good movie
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie's title is fitting because Justine (Aniston) IS a good girl - and we see her being BAD due to the tangled webs she's weaved for herself. The movie clearly demonstrates what can happen when good people go haywire, so to speak (and it can happen to anyone). Good acting and tremendously realistic. Has a rather serene flow of events and provides lots of "stuff" to think about. The words of wisdom from the universe that kept popping into my head throughout this movie (and especially at the end) were, "BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU GET BORED" and, "DON'T LET THIS TYPE OF THING HAPPEN TO YOU".So go watch it. If you don't particularly enjoy it, you've invested only 1.5 hours worth of your time.
Movie Review: not all is real
Summary: 5 Stars
that's what i learned from this movie. jennifer anniston , jake gyllenhaal , john c riely , and tim blake nelson have superb performances in this rare gem about what more but redemption. i really cared for thes charectors and this movie is one of the best movies to come out in a long time. justine is a lonely person who's life seems to be going nowhere in between her boring husband and then she meets holden a younger guy and they fall in love dark twisted love that is. towards the end holden becomes obsessed with her and when she decides she doesn't want him the story turns into a tragedy. great movie for everyone. it's got comedy , drama , is kinda erotic , and is just an interesting movie to watch.Movie Review: Choices, choices .....
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone that rates this movie less than 4 stars simply doesn't "get" the movie. Or the characters either, to paraphrase a bit from the film. This movie is all about choices, both good and bad and the repercussions of those choices. Choosing to rate this film poorly because Jennifer isn't like she is on Friends or because the film is "slow" or "dark" isn't the wrong choice but it does indicate the basic misunderstanding of independent film and why actors and actresses want to move away from the roles they are best known for. Anyone that chooses to rate this film poorly is stuck in a rut much the same as Christine is in the film. Watch it and you will know what I mean......Movie Review: I Loved It!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this film because Jake Gylenhaal was becoming more and more popular and i wanted to see all of his films. I was not expecting a whole lot out of this film but i was shocked when i ended up loving it! Hardly anyone hs even heard of this film because it was a more independant film which was shown at the Sundance Film Festival, but it deserves recognition. I would recommend that anyone who enjoys dark and insightful films to see this. It is a wonderful film with great performances including Jennifer Aniston, Jake Gyllenhaal, John C. Reiley, and Tim Blake Nelson. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
