The Trailer For Dan Levy's 'Good Grief' Film Will Make You Cry Your Eyes Out

​Dany Levy is bringing the biggest emotions in the first trailer for his directorial film debut Good Grief.

“I’ve been reading that the brain is like a muscle,” Levy’s character Marc says at the start of the trailer. “It’s why getting over death is so hard. Because your brain has been trained to feel things for a person. When they go away, your head is still operating under the impression that it should still feel those things. Like muscle memory.”

Then, Levy hits us with a Phoebe Bridgers song, bringing the real emotions. What follows is a trailer full of scenes that will pull at your heartstrings, as Marc and his two best friends, Sophie (Ruth Negga) and Thomas (Himesh Patel) try to heal and move forward following the death of Marc’s charismatic husband (Luke Evans).

In the trailer we see that Marc and his friends travel to Paris on the one-year anniversary of his husband’s death, trying to find some joy in life. While Marc struggles to move on with his life, his two friends desperately try to remind him that he’s still alive.

Levy told Entertainment Weekly that after telling the story of a family on Schitt’s Creek, he wanted to tell the story of a found family and the love it can have.

“I feel like the older we get, the more profound our relationships are with our friends and the more complicated they get,” he explains. “Sometimes the people that are closest to us, we excuse the most in terms of having those hard conversations about life and bad habits and patterns of behavior that could be slightly course corrected. It's an uncomfortable conversation to have, and yet that intimacy exists within these friendships.”
