Good Grief (2026)

Synopsis

After the loss of her mother, filmmaker Emily Rued was inspired to tell a story drawn from her own experience, capturing the bewilderment, isolation, and unexpected humor that can follow the death of a loved one. The film tells the story of Amy, a tightly wound L.A. artist whose world begins to crumble when her mother is suddenly hospitalized. Torn between a high-stakes art show and her need to be by her mom’s side, she spirals into anxiety, self-doubt, and substance-fueled codependency with her charming but self-destructive boyfriend. When tragedy strikes, Amy returns to her small hometown, where grief, unresolved family issues, and a parade of eccentric characters force her to confront who she has become and who she wants to be.
