But it\u2019s an entirely different challenge to write and direct a smart, sensitive original feature in which you also play the lead character \u2014 a feat Levy deftly achieves with New Year\u2019s tearjerker \u201cGood Grief,\u201d giving those unsatisfied with the rest of Netflix\u2019s fluffy Christmas fare something substantial to kick off 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The first week of January seems a fitting time to release a film about three friends shedding their skin for the next chapter in their lives. Appropriately enough, Levy\u2019s debut also sees him leveling up as a more serious storyteller than we\u2019d given him credit for. It was easy to pigeonhole Levy as a comedic talent, given father Eugene\u2019s improv chops, whereas he shows a more poignant and personal side here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Levy plays Marc, a gay artist in his late 30s whose A-list husband, Oliver (Luke Evans), dies unexpectedly after leaving their holiday party. Rest assured: While the trailers tout how a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> to Paris helps Marc to process that loss, \u201cGood Grief\u201d is a good deal better than that reductive summary sounds. Imagine a satisfying \u201990s weepie updated with the millennial bite of \u201cObvious Child.\u201d That initial tragedy is the toughest, since we know it\u2019s coming. Still, Levy handles Oliver\u2019s death in a fresh way (the party guests joke when they first hear the sirens, until Marc realizes what happened), indicating early that he wants us to feel something without resorting to vulgar manipulation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The budding filmmaker established his hipster bona fides on \u201cSchitt\u2019s Creek,\u201d playing a blisteringly snobby New Yorker forced to adjust to the real world. Marc\u2019s in for a rude awakening as well. Levy has crafted an emotional story strong enough to withstand the zings of an ironic generation, who\u2019ve been conditioned to snipe at sincerity. It takes guts to put genuine feelings on the line, especially after giving sarcastic-minded viewers so much ammunition. \u201cGood Grief\u201d can be very funny at times, but it\u2019s foremost about facing the painful things in life, like death.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Incidentally, this is the second of two new films in which openly gay Evans plays a married gay man, the other being \u201cOur Son\u201d (sort of a queer \u201cKramer vs. Kramer,\u201d about a divorcing couple\u2019s complicated custody fight). It\u2019s refreshing to have a star of his stature representing, even if he\u2019s only present for the first scene and a tiny handful of flashbacks. Uncommon among first features, such right-fit casting (which extends to Oliver\u2019s agent, impeccably played by Celia Imrie) allows Levy to work as subtly as he does. Less is more as the ensemble explore the nuances of their characters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    In Marc\u2019s memory, Oliver was the ideal husband: handsome, successful and (he eventually reveals, delving into psychoanalysis territory) a welcome distraction from his mother\u2019s death. The couple got together when Marc should have been grieving, he realizes in retrospect, and now that Oliver\u2019s gone, the young widower has to face the void that both his mother and his partner have left in his life. It doesn\u2019t take a fortuneteller to guess that painting, which Marc put aside years earlier, will play a part in his healing \u2014 though leave it to Levy to come up with one of the most romantic scenes you\u2019ll find in any gay love story (a private visit to one of Paris\u2019 most famous artworks).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The filmmaker compresses a year of coping into roughly half an hour, as ex-boyfriend-turned-BFF Thomas (Himesh Patel) and self-described \u201chot mess\u201d Sophie (Ruth Negga) do what they can to cheer Marc up. After stalling for 12 months, Marc finally opens the last Christmas card Oliver gave him and finds a shock. Without spoiling it, suffice to say, this is how the three friends wind up spending a few days in Paris, where Marc is still down enough to forgo a makeover, shuffling about the glamorous city in sweatpants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Before making that decision, Marc meets a well-connected French art connoisseur named Theo (\u201cBPM\u201d star Arnaud Valois) at a warehouse happening where Emma Corrin makes a fun cameo as a pathetic performance artist. (Kaitlyn Dever also pops up at Oliver\u2019s funeral as the vacuous star of Oliver\u2019s movies.) Levy shades these characters with a mix of positive and negative qualities \u2014 though ever-patient Theo comes so close to being an ideal suitor, it\u2019s a relief that \u201cGood Grief\u201d doesn\u2019t take the easy path of letting romance solve Marc\u2019s moving-on problems. If the story of our lives begins at birth and ends at death, it\u2019s uncanny how often the chapters are delineated by those we lose along the way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    With the hardly insignificant exception of AIDS-themed stories, gay films so often focus on the falling-in-love\/falling-in-lust stretch of a relationship. By contrast, this relatively grown-up offering deals with later-stage emotions, joining a very short list (topped by Tom Ford\u2019s \u201cA Single Man\u201d) that concentrate on loss. Levy\u2019s funny-sad contemporary drama acknowledges the supportive dynamic that Marc plays in Thomas and Sophie\u2019s lives, even as it centers the gay best friend for a change \u2014 not so different from the one he played in \u201cHappiest Season.\u201d All three characters feel well rounded and real, especially in their imperfections.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    To heal, Marc needs to be honest with himself and those closest to him. Levy\u2019s fans know the multitalent can play bitchy and caustic; \u201cGood Grief\u201d shows he can be vulnerable and wise as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
