Ghostlight (2024)

Review by ckaroun-201-447097

Ghostlight

10/10

Laughter and grief are 2 sides of the same coin.

Writer and Co-director Kelly O'Sullivan said it best: Laughter opens you up to other emotions. And life doesn't separate out the sad moments from the funny ones (at least not if you are doing it right). So why should film?

This movie teaches you to laugh so you don't cry. A portrait of grief, you get transported to the come up of everyday people in a way that feels so wholesome and meaningful its as if you had been on the ride and learned this story from a loved one themselves.

The soundtrack was great. The comedy dry, organic and building, and the emotions real and moving. It fully deserves the 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and positive reception from the general public.

If you are not looking for something a little different than what fits the current film making mold maybe this one's not for you.

For me however it was a refreshing, wholesome and creative departure from other films I had seen, especially bigger budget ones.
