Mainly in the introduction, a melancholic and slightly hypnotic exploration into all the wounded and hopeless souls. It's a shame that over time, preference is given to dark humor more than ideal, and the characters, except for the perfect Holden, are still too archetypal and lead to the expected conclusion. 70%

The Good Girl isn't particularly exceptional, but in the category of American independent cinema, it represents a decent above-average. Unlike big studio genre films, it manages to convey a glimpse of the real America of ordinary people, who make a living with mundane, unremarkable jobs. I believed in Jennifer Aniston as the tired and life-weary saleswoman - it's interesting that this is the first role of one of the highest-paid female TV stars where I took her performance seriously. Alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, the experienced John C. Reilly in the role of a somewhat down-to-earth husband is noteworthy. Overall impression 65%.
