Marc (Dan Levy) was content living in the shadow of his larger-than-life husband, Oliver (Luke Evans). But when Oliver unexpectedly dies, Marc’s world shatters, sending him and his two best friends, Sophie (Ruth Negga) and Thomas (Himesh Patel), on a soul-searching trip to Paris that reveals some hard truths they each needed to face. Good Grief marks Levy’s debut as a feature-film writer and director.

00:00 I've been reading that the brain is like a muscle.
00:04 That's why getting over a death is so hard.
00:07 Because your brain has been trained to feel things for a person.
00:12 When they go away, your head is still operating under the impression that it should feel those things for that person.
00:19 Like muscle memory.
00:22 I think we'll hold off on the will for today.
00:29 Do I look older to you? I feel like I've aged a lot.
00:32 No.
00:33 Yes! Your husband just died, you're allowed. My God.
00:36 I wanted to thank you both for this year.
00:50 I would like to take us to Paris for the weekend.
00:53 We all deserve some joy.
00:55 Yes, thank you. Where are we staying?
00:58 Paris
01:00 This is sexy!
01:08 You must miss him.
01:17 It's complicated.
01:18 Yeah, love is that way.
01:20 Are you okay?
01:23 Oliver met someone else.
01:25 I'm sorry you're having to deal with that, but I'm allowed to feel things too.
01:29 My husband officially died a year ago today.
01:32 Such a meticulous person.
01:34 He left behind one hell of a mess.
01:36 Do you want to tell him where you ended up last night?
01:39 People feel things that are inconvenient.
01:47 That's okay.
01:50 Can I ask you to have a drink with me?
01:52 We have been here for you.
01:56 We built you the nest.
01:58 We sat on you for a year.
02:01 It's time to hatch.
02:03 We love you.
02:06 This is us loving you.
02:10 I'm sorry.
02:12 I'm sorry.
02:14 I'm sorry.
02:16 This is us loving you.
02:21 We love you.
02:24 We love you.
