Insipid script, gorgeous cinematography, couldn't wait for it to end. Hang on for the finale if you are challenged to find out what the film is all about. Don't expect satisfaction for what is a vanity piece that offers little in the way of humor, cleverness or charm. Probably their worst film. Thumbs way down.

Marvelous film, inspiring story, and a game cast. Uniting Brenda Vaccarro, Lorraine Bracco, Susan Sarandon and Talia Shire was casting genius. The entire cast is like a big family. Vince Vaughn triumphs so gracefully in this role you might think it's AI but it isn't. And just having Joe Manganiello around adds immeasurably to the film's beauty. Bravo. I wish them much success and I hope this film finds its audience.

After the first 15 minutes of Ghostlight, I had the strangest feeling that this was not a fictitional story, that it had more truth to it than just a script, direction and acting. There is an accumulation of intensity and detail that pulls you into its world, even though that world (and the story) develop at a deliberately unrushed pace, which is unusual for an American film. And while some reviews have wanted a longer film or better editing, I felt after the film ended, that there is nothing I would change. So much of the interaction between the characters is so natural, it feels like it was based on a real incident. This is not an easy film and it has a large share of pain in its unfolding of what is a tragic story. Very well done.
