The Good House follows Hildy Good (Sigourney Weaver), a wry New England realtor and descendant of the Salem witches, who loves her wine and her secrets. Her compartmentalized life begins to unravel as she rekindles a romance with her old high-school flame, Frank Getchell (Kevin Kline), and becomes dangerously entwined in one person's reckless behavior. Igniting long-buried emotions and family secrets, Hildy is propelled toward a reckoning with the one person she's been avoiding for decades: herself.

Critics Consensus

The Good House creaks in spots, but with Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver providing load-bearing performances, it's far from a fixer-upper.

3/4

You might not buy all the plot machinations, but as for the sight of Weaver and Kline together again: That’s an easy sell.

The Good House has all the ingredients. They’ve just been overcooked.

3.5/5

File this under movies that start slow but get better as it progresses, topped with a satisfying ending. Sigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline's reunion is definitely the reason to see this.

All the actors in this have done so much better than this! What happened? Script? Direction? Editing? What a waste.

Excellent performances. A treat to see a non-Marvel film, a film w/o Roman numerals following the title - a nice film for the adult crowd.

The subject matter, alcoholics and family disfunction, was barely hinted at in commercials and write-ups. It made me uncomfortable. Wish I'd known.
