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.

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. Go to Full Review

Susan D 11/19/2022 All the actors in this have done so much better than this! What happened? Script? Direction? Editing? What a waste. See more Stephen 10/26/2022 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. See more Day 10/22/2022 The subject matter, alcoholics and family disfunction, was barely hinted at in commercials and write-ups. It made me uncomfortable. Wish I'd known. See more Mona 10/21/2022 It was honest and timely. See more Elizabeth 10/20/2022 Acting was good, scenery was beautiful, real life situations, ending made you think, be more aware of life issues. Well done See more Yuriy 10/20/2022 Great movie! Go to watch this movie tomorrow! See more Read all reviews
