I've said this before but must repeat that Dan Levy is brilliant. We are now beginning to see the range of his talents.

[@b.k8051]

He wouldn't be anywhere without his father

[@oopurpledove]

@@b.k8051Exactly.

[@martindeckert6035]

it is a horrible movie...he is a great guy and Schitts Creek was awesome but this film is really bad

[@missmissy_90]

​@@martindeckert6035 Is it? That's too bad. Schitts Creek was so funny. I can't even pick my favorite actor on the show because they all were SO GOOD.

[@patchouleigh_]

I really respect Dan for not making his next project a comedy, for branching out, seeking other possibilities. He could have easily sat back and done something in the style of S.C. What a gem. 😊💛

[@juliepardo7767]

I really hope Dan is ultimately very proud of this movie, he should be. It truly is a beautifully written story. I've already watched it twice.

[@joavkof]

Just finished the movie. It’s very good

[@b.k8051]

in what world is a guy like Dan Levy married to a stud like Luke Evans?

[@DavidKerley]

_"Good Grief"_ is brilliant. Watched it last night and was blown away.

[@martindeckert6035]

OK maybe I watched the wrong movie because the one I watched was incredibly bad....what is brilliant about this?

[@krussell89]

I just watched his film today, and have always loved him. His character was so vulnerable and sad, I just wanted to wrap him in my arms and take care of him. Such a great talent. I look forward to more of his works.

[@h.vander6640]

Everything Dan makes, has both, so much humour and heart. I believe he will be a cherished filmmaker and director for years to come. Thank you Dan!

[@noahseeum2154]

Loved loved loved the movie which took on a topic we are all like kindergarteners with/ inexperienced with....death, loss, love and surviving it. Well done, Mr Levy.

[@lorettanericcio-bohlman567]

Dan Levy’s new movie on Netflix is superb. Might never get to Paris so it was an added bonus 💐

[@michelleeggers719]

I've watched every episode of Schitt's Creek 3 times..I'll never get over it.

[@JenShea]

I loved this movie. It was honest... and, well calm. It went at a good pace, never felt like it was too little or too much. Bravo Dan!!

[@JCcreates927]

Hubby and I watched that show last night. Very good show. I could watch him in most anything, not only is he talented but his facial expressions.

[@Josietjd]

😍😍 I fell in love with Dan Levy on Schitt's Creek. Loved that sitcom. The character Roland gave me anxiety in the first episodes, but I'm glad I stuck to the show until Roland wasn't too predominant.

[@ladyastralis]

Thank you! I’m glad to know I wasn’t the only one who had an anxiety reaction to Roland.

[@maryrausch36]

I almost didn't watch Schitt's Creek simply because of the Roland actor. But decided to try it and was excited to love it

[@ltaylor2799]

beautiful film, the characters were wonderful, I could watch several shows with them

[@patcavasin5947]

I am so over the interviewers speaking and laughing over the interviewee...I wish I could have heard more of his answers.

[@lucilemcgregor]

So proud to call him a fellow Canadian.

[@jlongino51823]

Good Grief is so intelligent and such an untouched creature. Grief is wild. Great movie.

[@Love_for_Coffee]

I love Dan levy and watch him on every show or movie, past and present he’s so talented. He’s such a natural like his father and I respect them both. ❤

[@Dan5819]

If Dan Levy wrote or is in it, I want to see it. He is such a naturally amusing character!

My husband and I watched the movie last night. We loved it.

The cast is awesome a kind of very selective and high skilled acting approach

[@littlefinger5199]

SHUT UP! His dad is Mr. Eugene Levy? Eugene is the best! Loved him in bringing down the house. Eugene is the funniest man in the planet!

[@mellocello187]

His dad Eugene was also his character’s dad in Schitt’s Creek, which took me a couple of episodes to get in to, but then LOVED it! I watched the series twice. I’m recommending it to you, highly.

[@naomiarram5187]

How could you not have seen the resemblance? A true SCTV fan would have known that face anywhere. And yes, that's why the dynamic was so great in Schitts Creek

[@daniellerichard1385]

This felt like a very awkward interview?

She seemed maybe annoyed to do this sort of interview?

[@jordanbarthe7668]

@@b.k8051 Nope his first job was at GAP kids and then several "normal jobs" ! Eugene Levy is very famous in Canada and in the comedy department in the US. But he is not that mainstream. Maybe opened a few doors, but his talent in writing and directing cannot be denied. You're just a typical hater.
