Netflix fans in “streams of tears” after Dan Levy’s new “masterpiece”
NetflixDan Levy’s new comedy-drama film, Good Grief, continues to receive widespread audience acclaim following its recent debut on Netflix.
Levy wrote, directed, and starred in the movie, which is about a man coming to terms with the death of his husband.
It represents a major departure for Levy, who is best known for lighter fare such as Schitt’s Creek, Happiest Season, Sex Education, and Haunted Mansion.
Good Grief premiered in theatres on December 29, 2023. However, many Netflix subscribers are only seeing it now that it’s available on that platform – and they’re very impressed.
