Good Grief

About This Movie

Good Grief is an intriguing indie piece from 1983, directed by someone whose name seems lost to time. The film was showcased at EZTV and features Lois Chiles, who some might recognize from her role in 'Dallas.' The tone is contemplative, blending a sort of whimsical melancholy with moments of absurdity that keep the pacing interesting. I found the atmosphere unique, almost dreamlike, drawing you into its offbeat narrative. Practical effects are minimal, relying more on performance and dialogue, which Chiles delivers with a subtlety that makes the film stand out. It’s certainly one of those lesser-known gems that sparks conversation among collectors and offers a glimpse into the indie scene of the early '80s.

Good Grief is a rare find for collectors; it doesn't pop up often, which adds to its allure. The film has only seen limited releases on VHS, making it a bit of a treasure hunt for those interested. While not widely circulated or spoken about, its inclusion in indie film conversations is growing, especially with the resurgence of interest in that era’s underground cinema. The scarcity and distinctive elements within the film certainly pique the interest of collectors looking for something off the beaten path.
