Everything's Going to Be Great – When The Curtain Falls
Description
In this episode, we discuss the type of grief that doesn't have the sound of loud tears—it is done in silence.
Everything's Going to Be Great (2025) starts with an unexpected loss, and after that, it is a slow disintegration of a family life.
Buddy Smart is an ardent theater dad. He loves the stage, storytelling, and his family. But when he unexpectedly passes away, the show doesn't end—it simply transforms. Macy, his wife, attempts to keep everything together as their two sons, Derrick and Lester, mourn in contrasting, unobtrusive ways.
What struck me is how authentic this story was. No grand plot turns. No manufactured emotion. Simple, genuine life after tragedy.
I saw the movie on Afdah, and the stream was seamless. No pesky ads, directly into the story. If you want a film that feels like life—with its grime, tears, and little pleasures—this one's an invest of your time.
