The Good House Reviews

If you crave something deeper, and more meaningful, this will not be the movie for you.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 6, 2024

The Good House has all the ingredients. They’ve just been overcooked.

| Apr 26, 2023

File this under movies that start slow but get better as it progresses, topped with a satisfying ending. Sigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline's reunion is definitely the reason to see this.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 2, 2023

Portrait of an accomplished real estate agent suffering from alcoholism and the disease of playing God.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 29, 2022

Sigourney Weaver's feisty performance as an alcoholic real-estate agent is the main reason to watch this uneven dramedy. The movie's storyline about seeking a redemptive comeback is handled better than the movie's storyline about finding love.

| Dec 28, 2022

While The Good House has a solid cast, it really showcases Weaver’s talent and versatility.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 2, 2022

Hildy deserves a second chance at love, but the core of the film — in Weaver’s remarkably capable hands — is her love/hate relationship with alcohol. It’s a relationship many of us can relate to. Weaver’s performance makes 'The Good House' pretty great.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Nov 28, 2022

The Good House isn*t a great movie but until its overly melodramatic final 10 or so minutes, it*s a pretty darn good one.

| Oct 26, 2022

Sigourney Weaver is the star of this movie but I wish Kevin Kline had been more than just a supporting player.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 13, 2022

Playing with words and mood, The Good House manages a surprising balancing act between lightweight tone and serious subject.

| Oct 10, 2022

Sigourney Weaver is terrific, handling the role with aplomb. It’s a delicate balancing act with the shift from light comedy to weighty material. Seeing her reunite with Kline after two decades is itself worth the price of admission.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 9, 2022

Sigourney Weaver takes the ball and runs with a performance that strengthens a middling script and reunites her on screen with a frequent acting partner in Kevin Kline.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 8, 2022

An uneven character study that’s redeemed to a great extent by Weaver’s exceptional lead performance.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 6, 2022

Don't expect flying on broomsticks or a Witches of Eastwick-type pay off here: This well-made dramedy about the complexities of single, senior womanhood is far more grounded.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 4, 2022

It's a great role for Weaver, who always appears so smartly in-control〞we want to believe Hildy's delusions even as we witness their unraveling.

| Oct 4, 2022

The Good House is a movie that many will skip over but should spend the time with as it is just as engaging a portrait of New England life as Manchester by the Sea and every bit a showcase for the one and only Sigourney Weaver.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 4, 2022

It proves to be a wonderful vehicle for Weaver who (inexplicably) hasn't been given a role this meaty in a long time. Watching her navigate between comically sardonic and tragically damaged is a treat.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 4, 2022

For much of its runtime, this film is a pale shadow of its source material, a rote visualization of a story better suited to the page than to the screen.

| Oct 3, 2022

Weaver makes it watchable.

| Oct 2, 2022

What makes the film watchable is Weaver, proving to be an example of another recent film in which the lead actress gives a great performance in a flawed production. She gives a strong, multi-faceted performance but, alas, it’s not enough to save the film.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 2, 2022
