A moving film everyone should watch.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ghostlight, which initially played the 2024 Sundance Film Festival before heading to SXSW, is one of those films that’s difficult to forget. I sat with it long after the credits had rolled because of how beautifully and coherently crafted it is.
Pros Ghostlight Masterfully Tells A Tender, Deep Story Ghostlight doesn’t hit us with information all at once. We simply know that Dan , along with wife Sharon and teen daughter Daisy , are grieving the loss of their son/brother, who died a year prior. Dan struggles to talk about his grief, while Daisy acts out at school and Sharon works to keep the family together despite a looming deposition that threatens to reopen old wounds.
He’s also embarrassed about joining a small production of Romeo & Juliet, encouraged by the spirited Rita , who plays Juliet and sees Dan’s potential. The play begins to mirror Dan’s life in a myriad of ways, but it also gives him the space to lose himself in a role that he doesn’t fully understand and forces him to address his feelings.
