“A Good Person” was written and directed by Zach Braff, who’s still fondly remembered for his 2004 hit “Garden State” in which he starred with Natalie Portman. After an immensely annoying and cloying beginning, “A Good Person” eventually hits its stride and turns into a movie you definitely should not miss. It’s a deeply felt meditation on the ravages of opioid addiction, featuring dramatic heavy hitters Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman.
