Viggo Mortensen stars in this movie about the rise of socialism in Germany.

The Scoop

The rise of national socialism in Germany should not be regarded as a conspiracy of madmen. Millions of “good” people found themselves in a society spiralling into terrible chaos. A film about then, which illuminates the terrors of now.

Good is one man’s journey during the Nazi regime set against his chaotic private life. Based on the play by CP Taylor, Good forces us the question the nature of humanity and whether in such circumstances a person can remain good.

Ouch

But it’s still embarrassing to watch somebody who has given two of the more interesting and inventive lead performances of recent years flailing so hard to elevate something so low.
