Good Life

Such an enjoyable movie! It was great to escape to a cast of relatable characters, gorgeous scenery and wholesome entertainment! I think the producer has done an amazing job with limited financial resources. I particularly like that so many of the cast/ crew and support personnel were all from a small country where I am sure the work/revenue was much appreciated. The sound track deserves a special mention!

Well done Bonnie Rodini! What an accomplishment! I look forward to your next release. Good Life is indeed a Good Use of Time!

Well, let's just get it out of the way: a small South African production, shot during the first (read "BIG") wave of Covid and on basically no budget. So the angry reviews about it not being my Big Fat Greek Wedding is perhaps missing that little gems doesn't always have Big Fat Budgets or South African actors that speak Greek......However, this indie movie has a lot of soul, touches your heart , makes you smile and even shed a tear. Olive's journey is utterly human and relatable; it transcends country or culture. The cast is great and the acting is gripping. You probably won't remember Good Life for the rest of your life, but it will sure brighten up your week. Enjoy it!

Unlike other reviewers, I didn't watch this movie to critique its "Greek authenticity". The title, GOOD LIFE is what it's all about. We all need a light-hearted, pick-me-up from time to time and this film is just that. I found the characters endearing and completely relatable, the humour subtle but incredibly amusing and the overall production of a very high quality. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this film.

Bonnie Rodini did a wonderful job with this move, especially considering she filmed it during the first wave of Covid. Our protagonist Olive is a young dental hygienist with what appears to be yet another broken heart who is still yearning for her father, and she decides to go to Greece to find out what really happened to his house, which her mother does not want to discuss, and upon arriving she discovers an entire village is against her. But through the friendship of a young boy and her own tenacity and goodness, she overcomes adversity and heals the past for all of those involved. This is one of the best movies I've seen in years.. it has heart, and it shows not only the goodness of the human spirit, but that of the healing power to be found in facing the Truth. A lovely movie indeed.

I not go to comment on the storyline and it just got a charm and enjoyable to watch in weekend with loved ones and very cheerful after watching. Good movie no need something huge, just something special n joyful is what I found from this movie. Love it.
