What happens

The Good House is a 2021 American drama film directed by Maya Forbes and Wally Wolodarsky, who wrote the screenplay with Thomas Bezucha. It is based on the novel of the same name by Ann Leary. Long time Massachusetts realtor Hildy Good's life starts to fall apart a few years after her husband comes out, divorcing her. An alcoholic in denial, she reconnects with her high school sweetheart Frank and eventually faces her addiction after a scare. It is the last DreamWorks Pictures film to be produced by Participant, since Participant terminated its equity stake in Amblin Partners, ending its relationship with the company on November 30, 2020, and also ceased operations due to the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes on April 16, 2024.
