Zach Braff's 'A Good Person': Morgan Freeman's Best Performance in Years?

Zach Braff's latest film "A Good Person" attempts to subvert the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope he helped create with "Garden State," but instead creates a new narrow depiction of on-screen womanhood. Florence Pugh's character is defined solely by her problems and depression, and her journey to healing is filled with cliches and pain. Despite this, the film still can't shake Braff's MPDG obsessions, and by the end, the character recaptures some of the whimsy she cast off before.
