It's been an intense few years for Zach Braff. In fairly short order, the actor and director lost his father, his sister and his best friend.
"I have experienced a lot of grief and loss in the last four years," he admitted during a recent "Salon Talks" conversation. Yet while his new film "A Good Person" explores the impact of tragedy on the lives of two very different survivors (played by Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman), the story also brims with a delicacy and wry humor you'd expect from the director of "Garden State." "I wanted to explore this," he explained, "but find a way to do it with humor."
