Dan Levy…your integrity is commended. If everyone would run their lives this way, it would be a much better place. Can’t wait to see Good Grief. I have watched Schitts Creek 3 times now and I will watch again. Tom, thank you for this great interview.

Agreed, I’ve watched SC at least three times….such wonderful TV…I do hope they do a film at some stage….

@jeannie9590 5 месяцев назад

isn't all of life a little drama.. a little comedy...? I can relate to your snow story about seeing the beauty around you.. and wondering why the world did not see your sorrow.. .I was 21.. recently married and just graduated as a nurse.. and thought my whole life was new , exciting and wonderful... and then in the blink of an eye I lost my dad.. in the spring.. right after Easter .. a time of rebirth... and I was so angry at the flowers for blooming and the birds for singing... 50 years later I still have a love hate relationship with spring😊

I've said it before but I'll say it again: Tom's interviews are the best in town. Such beautiful, grounding, honest conversations on what it means to be a human, told through the lens of our creative self-expression. Dan, I didn't know it was possible to love you more. You are such a beautiful human being. Thank you thank you thank you!

Good grief is a brilliant movie. So well written…. Love the cast. Dan has captured grief perfectly. I lost dad a few months ago and the feelings of loss are like an ulcer on your shoulder… the ache that doesn’t go away…. And the desperation to feel anything but the pain in your heart.

@user-gk1mr5dp4j 5 месяцев назад

Dear Tom! I send you hugs from Hungary, from a small town. What you represent, how you conduct your interviews, means a lot. It's human, it's beautiful, it's true. Thanks

@user-fj8mo5kx4m 5 месяцев назад

I just finished your beautiful movie, Good Grief. Over a decade ago I had a similar experience with a sudden loss of my love and shared the pain, grief and recovery Marc did in the film. I can’t think of a modern actor that makes whatever character they play more believable, endearing and provocative as you do in each role you play. I now promise myself not to miss anything you are in, either as a director, writer or actor. Thank you so much, Dan. You are Canada’s wonder boy❣️

His parents must be so proud of how Dan is. He has such a great head on his shoulders. He is the most REAL person on television! KEEP BEING YOU DAN! AND WRITE MORE MORE AND MORE !

I had been struggling to turn down an opportunity that would bring more “fame” but compromise my science. I knew I couldn’t take that opportunity but I couldn’t give voice to my feelings. Then I heard Dan Levy interviewed by Tom Power. Such synergy - the combination of these two minds is just magic.

@kierondurney8386 Месяц назад

Tom Power is a great interviewer. He does his research beforehand, which so many journalists don't do properly. He understand that listeners/ viewers are tuning in because of the guests and he doesn't make the mistake of putting himself front & center. He really listens to the answers his guests give and is confident enough to be flexible in his approach so that he can follow the thoughts of the guests and explore other areas that he might not have chosen during his research. Tom is what I would describe as an old fashioned interviewer in the very best way.

@carolinehaf21 5 месяцев назад

Dan, I first saw your dad Eugene in the movie splash with Tom Hanks as a 7-8 year old girl and hated his character initially but fell in love with him and his humor by the end of the movie. As soon as I saw you in Schitts Creek, I knew you had his ability to make us laugh and also feel. Beautiful movie... please always keep learning and showing us life always has something worth learning as well. Friendship is worth showing and writing about. Thank you ❤

@sononi4798 5 месяцев назад

He was my favorite character on SC. I had such a crush on him and felt like he would be the best friend that would push you to be better but keep you humble. 💕

The music was mesmerizing of carefully selected for a scene in mood. The arrival to Paris - Eyes without a face by Billy Idol. The dinner meetup in Paris - Sortir ce soir by Étienne Daho and the film close with a peaceful heart soundtrack. Start with Getting Through It, Coming to and Musee De L'Orangerie by Rob Simonsen.

Having lost both my grandmothers in 2023, 3 1/2 months between eachother, (end of july and mid November) both the movie and this interview are incredibly helpful. Grief is so hard and it comes out in weird mysterious ways but, grief is the strongest form of love someone can have

Just finished Good Grief. It's too easy to say the movie was heartwarming and raw. I haven't seen a movie quite like it. It felt real. Levy's performance is so believable and so warm. I was captivated by every minute. Everyone should watch this. Friendship is everything and is your family as well as your family.

Good Grief is phenomenal! Dan Levy should be commended for his multiple contributions in ,and to, this movie. Loved the interview this afternoon on Q - Tom, great job as usual. And so, I watched the movie tonight. It does not disappoint. I will have to watch it again. ❤

@jasonchristopher5316 5 месяцев назад

The conversation on self criticism was so honest and forthright. It's Dan's willingness to expose his vulnerabilities and sensitivities that make him such a prolific screenwriter. I love him so much.

@jeffbassin630 5 месяцев назад

I can't wait to see "Good Grief," and will have by tomorrow. Dan Levy has, for a long time, impressed me for his amazing talent. I expect to be even more impressed after viewing his film. Mu gut tells me that I won't be disappointed.

@mikiomahoney1 5 месяцев назад

I adore Dan, he’s a very levelheaded and intelligent creative who clearly adores his craft, I love that he thinks big picture, but also his attention to detail, eg, the wardrobe addition to characters, which, as he says adds as much to a character, authenticity is what I feel when I watch him, either his writing, acting or directing. I don’t think he’s scared to go to places, being uncomfortable is brewing human, he has such a wonderful soul….of course, he’s come from good stock, but I got so into the film, I wanted more and love the characters, even parts of them I didn’t like…I could easily watch more about the journeys of these characters, I’d love to see where the characters go, left wanting me is a real art…probably from Schitts Creak, which is just fabulous…watching Dan is a pleasure ❤

@joy8030 5 месяцев назад

I love how they explore imposter syndrome in this interview and how they both relate and are surprised that the other struggles with it. I'm a therapist who sometimes struggles with imposter syndrome (this is maybe surprisingly common in the mental health field) and though we're in completely different fields, I love how Dan normalizes that no one really knows what they're doing. Even Dan Levy feels like an imposter sometimes. Dan is really knocking it out of the park with the interviews he's doing for his film! Love his take on singlehood too! Such an impressive human.

@huntersun9 5 месяцев назад

I watched Good Grief the other day and it was wonderful. When Dan's character says grief feels like he's swimming with his clothes on, I actually gasped because that is such a perfect description in my experience. It was moving and funny, I loved the relationships. Wow.

@jeanneberner 5 месяцев назад

Quote on grief by Aeschlus.”He who learns must suffer.And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until,in our own despair,against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.”(justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering.)
