The Good House, a new comedy-drama from RoadsideFlix, has a brand new trailer that promises to transport viewers to the idyllic New England cottage made famous by the film. A film starring Sigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline, The Good House, will hit theatres on September 30, 2022. Weaver appears in The Good House as Hildy Good, a sardonic and humorous New England realtor whose family history stretches all the way back to the famed Salem Witch Trials, which may or may not be a terrible portent for the course of Hildy’s increasingly convoluted life.
Although Hildy’s drinking habits have necessitated at least one intervention, she prefers to keep her personal and professional lives separate. Clean and orderly, much like the tiny town she lives in. But when she reconnects with her high school boyfriend, Frank Getchell (Kline), her carefully constructed existence begins to unravel, and Hildy is forced to face the one person she has spent her whole life trying to avoid: herself. The new video provides an exclusive peek at the upcoming film, which is based on Ann Leary’s best-selling novel of the same name.
The rough and magnificent nature of New England is on full display in the trailer, which features picturesque scenes of a rocky bay, sailboats, clapboard cottages with stone fireplaces, and some extremely likeable folks. Hildy Good, the film’s heroine and our tour guide around the film’s town and her life, is also introduced in the trailer. Hildy’s thoughts on the distinction between vodka and wine are interspersed throughout the trailer in the form of brief asides.
Her ex-husband left her for another woman, and she spent some time in treatment for alcoholism. The film also features performances by Morena Baccarin and Rob Delaney in addition to Weaver and Kline. The film was co-directed by Maya Forbes and Wally Wolodarsky. On September 30, 2022, the premiere of The Good House will play for one night only in cinemas, just in time for the leaf peepers to make their way up the coast to the mountainous splendour of New England.
