Good Riddance

About This Movie

Good Riddance is a curious exploration of everyday chaos, where the lead woman juggles the emotional weight of her family and a struggling firewood business. The film's tone feels raw, almost voyeuristic at times, immersing you in her relentless challenges. It has a slow burn pace, allowing you to appreciate the small, intense moments - particularly her interactions with her daughter and brother, which are layered and fraught with underlying tension. The performances are genuine, with a particular standout in the daughter, who captures that volatile mix of neediness and rebellion quite well. Practical effects? Not much, but it doesn’t need them; the reality of the character's struggles is compelling enough on its own. It’s distinctive for its unflinching look at familial responsibility and emotional fragility.
