El Fantasma de Mi Padre

Ghost takes a familiar set-up and gives it a fresh "kitchen sink realism meets mumblecore" spin. Instead of following genre conventions or procedural aspects of prison release, the lyrical character study focuses on the complicated father-son relationship and how it shifts during one eventful day. The slow-burning narrative maintains an engaging flow with the help of nuanced performances, naturalistic dialogue, atmospheric soundtrack and efficient cinematography.

Boring, boring.... Might as watch 2 blokes talking in the street. I didn't enjoy this at all, lots of talking about very little with nothing happening very slowly. Give it a go and leave a review.

A really well thought out and considered film, slow but atmospheric with tension building along the way, not least with the father and son relationship. If your looking for a typical British crime / gangster film look elsewhere but if your in the mood for something slower and innovative (shot on an iPhone 8 - really!!!????) then give it a go, I love the usual UK blokey/ crime stuff, however this isn't it, nonetheless I have to say it's the finest hidden gem I've found all year. I don't normally write reviews but really felt this deserved one.

It's the subtlety of the camera placement, the deeply affecting silence, and the brilliant, non-verbal work of two very talented actors, that take Ghost to its soaring heights in visual storytelling. Hamilton and Streeter's chemistry is infectious - and if the point was to closely examine a fractured father-son relationship (it was), then James and the entire crew succeeded.

A great little gem of a british movie .good acting good story for a low budget drama
