The Last of Us Actress Kaitlyn Dever Reveals How Andrew Garfield Helped Her Get Over Her Mother's Death
The Last of Us star Kaitlyn Dever opened up about her heartbreak before delivering her opening line in the Pedro Pascal-starrer show. The actress played the role of Abby in season 2, and in her first scene, she finds the body of her father lying lifeless on the floor after Pascal's character shoots him in the head. While in a conversation with a media portal, the actress revealed that she shot the scene a couple of days after burying her mother. Dever's mother had been suffering from cancer for the past 14 years and passed away just days before her big break in the popular series. Talking to GQ, Dever shared that her experience of delivering the line and being present on the sets that replicated her mother's death was 'gut-wrenching.' Recalling her first shot, Kaitlyn stated, 'I had just experienced [that]. Even though death is part of the human experience, we are not meant to be used to grief and watching your best friend die.' She added, 'So that was a crazy line to repeat over and over again because I had just seen her. She wasn't alive anymore, and I saw her body in the hospital.' Andrew Garfield's impacting words for Kaitlyn Dever To cope with her mother's death, Dever shared that she would search for Andrew Garfield 's words that he delivered after his mother's demise. Recalling how the We Live in Time star motivated her to move forward in life, the actress shared, 'I would Google it and watch it often, because I always felt like… the worst thing in my life that could happen was losing my best friend. And I always thought that I wouldn't be able to go on.' She further added, 'But then I'd look at Andrew and think, well, his life seems to be moving forward.' Kaitlyn Dever's emotional note for her mother The actress paid an emotional tribute to her late mother following her death from breast cancer. Dever noted, 'Thank you for fighting so hard for us for so long.' Kaitlyn shared that she will be broken forever without her mother and claimed her to be the greatest mom and wife. The actress went on to state, 'I'm grateful that you gave me Mady, Jane, and Dad. We'll always have each other to lean on because of you.'

This overlooked Florence Pugh drama movie is about to leave Prime Video — and it deserves way more love
Florence Pugh has delivered some incredible performances in everything from 'Midsommar' to 'Little Women' to 'We Live in Time,' but it's her quiet, unassuming role in 'A Good Person' that hit me hardest. And I'm willing to bet it's one performance you haven't seen. Released in 2023 and written/directed by Zach Braff, 'A Good Person' went unnoticed. It didn't make a big splash at the box office, and despite Pugh's deeply affecting performance, it never quite reached the level of attention it deserved. Which is why it's a shame that this emotionally layered drama is about to disappear from Prime Video on May 29. The first time I saw it, I didn't expect it to stay with me the way it did. Pugh plays Allison, a young woman whose life is derailed after a tragic accident. What follows isn't a neatly wrapped redemption arc but a story that's messy and painfully human. Her scenes with Morgan Freeman, who plays a grieving father navigating his own demons, are among the most emotionally honest I've seen in years. So before it leaves Prime Video, give 'A Good Person' a chance. It might not be the Florence Pugh movie people talk about most but it just might be the one that lingers the longest. Allison (Florence Pugh) is a vibrant young woman with a promising future, engaged to her high school sweetheart, Nathan (Chinaza Uche). However, her life takes a tragic turn when she causes a car accident that results in the deaths of Nathan's sister, Molly (Nichelle Hines), and Molly's husband. Allison survives but is left grappling with immense guilt and physical injuries. A year later, Allison is battling a severe addiction to painkillers and living with her mother, Diane (Molly Shannon), who struggles to support her daughter's recovery. Meanwhile, Daniel (Morgan Freeman), Nathan and Molly's father and a former police officer, is raising his teenage granddaughter, Ryan (Celeste O'Connor), who is dealing with the loss of her parents. The lives of Allison and Daniel intersect at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, leading to an unexpected and complex friendship. Together, they confront their shared grief and personal demons, seeking forgiveness and a path forward. I'm a very sensitive person, so it doesn't take much for a movie to get a few tears out of me. But 'A Good Person' had me full-on sobbing at one point, which just proves how emotionally powerful this drama really is. There are so many layers that slowly peel back over the course of the story, it naturally pulls you through the motions, meaning one minute you're feeling hopeful, and the next, your eyes are puffy from crying. 'A Good Person' begins with a happy moment, where Allison and her fiancé, Nathan, are having the time of their lives at their engagement party, with their family and friends surrounding them. It's a heart-warming moment, but also a bittersweet one, considering you know something bad is about to happen. But that's one of the movie's strengths. It doesn't drag out these happy scenes, because tragedy can happen at the most unexpected times, and it makes the car crash scene even more devastating. The emotion really stems from its central characters and their personal journeys, especially Allison, who not only shatters her own life, but the lives of those around her. That includes Daniel, who would've been her father-in-law. Both of their stories interconnect in a powerful way. But what's most impressive about 'A Good Person' is that none of these characters are actually good, they're just broken. Allison is in denial and spiraling into addiction, while Daniel is struggling to reach his rebellious granddaughter. They are fractured people, and fate brings them back into each other's lives. While most of the movie is quite heavy — especially the scenes of Allison falling back into a bad habit and not receiving the proper help she needs (including a mother who doesn't support her in the right way) — there is hope buried beneath the tragedy. And as a viewer, when you're made to witness the character's worst moments, you can't help but latch onto any sliver of promise. If you're someone who can't watch a movie that's harrowing all the way through, I can say that it gets lighter, and the ending definitely brings back a sense of warmth (which is much needed after such a heavy story). How unique this movie feels will probably depend on how many similar emotional dramas you've already seen and, as with many stories like this, personal experience plays a big role in how it resonates. That said, Braff does lean into melodrama at times, where a more restrained touch might have worked better. (The emotionally intense midpoint, in particular, feels a bit overdone.) But even with those moments, he still delivers enough raw, authentic scenes between characters to balance things out. I'm surprised that 'A Good Person' received the green splat on Rotten Tomatoes. It has a rating of 57% from over 100 critics, but I'm happy that audiences gave it a much stronger score of 96%. The viewer consensus reads: 'With a profound story and some really great performances, A Good Person is a tear-jerking drama with tons of heart.' Unfortunately, this drama did get severely overlooked, and so I hope people get the chance to watch it before it leaves Prime Video this month. Florence Pugh delivers one of her most nuanced roles to date, showing a different side of her talent that's both vulnerable and deeply compelling. So if you're in the mood for a movie that's both hopeful and heart-wrenching, stream 'A Good Person' while you still can, as you might be surprised by how much it sticks with you.

Stream "A Good Person" on Prime Video until May 29.

Spider-Man Actor Andrew Garfield on if He'll Return as the Web Slinger
Andrew Garfield recently expressed his desire to return as Spider-Man during his appearance at the Middle East Film & Comic Con event. The We Live in Time actor last reprised the role of the webslinger in the 2021 movie Spider-Man: No Way Home, alongside Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland. Fans have since been speculating that Garfield might appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. However, it is just a theory, and there has been no confirmation regarding this. While speaking at the Middle East Film & Comic Con held in Abu Dhabi, actor Andrew Garfield conveyed his wish to make a comeback as Spider-Man after No Way Home. He asserted that he 'loved playing Spider-Man' and that he 'would love to play the character again in some capacity.' The actor also revealed the one condition on which he would portray Spider-Man again. He added, 'I think it would have to be very weird. I think I would like to do something very strange…something very unique, and offbeat and surprising…kind of like the creative freedom they have with the animated Spider-Verse movies,' referencing the multiverse and how it can be used to 'honor' the character in various ways. With Spider-Man: Brand New Day slated for a release on July 31, 2026, fans have been theorizing whether Garfield will make an appearance in the Tom Holland-led movie. However, in September 2024, Garfield shut down those rumors. Garfield first made his debut as the Marvel superhero in Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012 and then reprised the role in its 2014 sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2. While fans were expecting a third part to release as well, it never got made. Alex Kurtzman, who was one of the scriptwriters for TASM 2, told ScreenRant in January 2025 that they 'never wrote it. I did 2 and that was it for me.' Now it remains to be seen if and when Garfield returns in the Spider-Man suit. Originally reported by Ishita Verma on SuperHeroHype.
