Good Grief

The film offers a human portrait of both homosexual and heterosexual love. Relationships are shown to be complex, no matter their participants' gender or sexual identities, which are treated respectfully. (One joke does reference a "sad lesbian in a period drama," and a character suggests straight people think gay people will want to sleep with any other gay person.) A man says he agreed to an open marriage with his boyfriend in order not to lose the relationship he loved, but his partner "cheated" on the rules they'd laid out about it. A woman realizes she must get her affairs in order before she can be prepared to settle down with her presumptive fiancé. Lead cast includes White, Black, and Indian-heritage actors principally hailing from England, Canada, Ireland, and France. There is little to no discussion of nationality or ethnicity; it's a non-issue among best friends in the story.

A man dies in a car crash. His husband sees his body being removed from the car (not shown on-screen), then spends a year in deep grief. A funeral scene includes an emotional eulogy from the deceased's father. There's discussion of the deaths and grieving for other loved ones, and also mention of a man who was burned alive.

No graphic sex scenes in this film, but there's kissing as well as discussion of sex, affairs, sex films, shagging, "t-ts," implants, nude pictures on a phone, sensuality, a "homemade dildo," sex workers, and eliciting attention.

"F--k," "s--t," "goddamn," "a--hole," "d--k," "hell," "c--k," "t-ts," "piss off," "spoiled brat," "slut," "sucks."

Adults drink regularly, sometimes getting drunk and winding up passed out in strange places like a bus stop. There's discussion of taking molly and taking pills with alcohol. A woman smokes cigarettes regularly. A woman gets sober.
