TheGoodHalf Review: Emotional Dramedy Boasts Admirable Nick Jonas Performance Tribeca2023 TribecaFilmFestival
Grief is an emotion that we all will experience at some point in our lives. Whether it’s due to the loss of a parent, friend, or pet, sorrow is an inevitable part of the human experience. Though the way grief is processed tends to look differently for different people, all-out avoidance tends to cause more problems than intended. That’s the premise of Robert Schwartzman’s emotional dramedy, The Good Half.
Jonas’ approach in attempting to escape the memory of his mother’s sickness and current loss is impressive, to say the least. Ryland’s writing does well with his performance method; it requires a sense of charm to execute some of the more comedic moments. These instances never overshadow the seriousness and importance of the film’s message, but allow Jonas to shine in the scenes that require a more subtle approach in delivery. Snow is also a standout.
The comparison of harnessing and embracing grief versus evading it altogether could work under normal circumstances. However, in The Good Half, we rarely get insight into the emotions and actions of side characters outside a few isolated occurrences. As a result, the friction that builds between Renn and others can leave you feeling emotionally unsure in terms of empathizing with certain characters.
