Ghostlight Reviews
Harper's Bazaar
Tomris Laffly
A beautifully woven tale on the constructive ways that life and art reflect, propel, and imitate each other, offering human beings curious enough to welcome artistic pursuits into their lives a path forward.
GQ
Esther Zuckerman
Though uneasy with acting, Kupferer's Dan finds comfort in the theater as the themes of the play help him connect to both his aspiring-actress daughter and the son he's lost.
RogerEbert.com
Robert Daniels
"Ghostlight" is indeed about grief. But not the buzzy kind, the kind that's easy to define and simple to manage.
Hollywood Reporter
Jon Frosch
Overcomes its clichés and contrivances with heart and humor.
Variety
Peter Debruge
O'Sullivan has a natural storytelling gift, coupled with a knack for comedy. Here, she takes... grieving families, difficult teens, small-town communities - and rearranges them into a surprising and moving narrative.
indieWire
Kate Erbland
O'Sullivan and Thompson are aces at tucking themes, concepts, and ideas into their films that, in other directors' hands, might feel a bit cheesy or chintzy. Instead, the duo handles them with the utmost respect and care.
The Playlist
Gregory Ellwood
A little indie gem that comes together almost perfectly.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
The more that "Ghostlight" reveals itself to be a production, it cleverly pulls down the excuses people hide behind not to be real with one another, delivering a true work of art.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Damon Wise
A funny, intelligent and yet at times almost unbearably sad movie that takes a searing family tragedy and spins it into a riveting redemption story.

Rachel Wagner
I know it is a bit on the nose, but it all worked for me. I was moved to tears multiple times
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
The film tackles serious matters, but it's also quite funny, especially when Dan is with his new acting comrades, struggling with Shakespeare's dense language and rhythms.
Paste Magazine
Andy Crump
Life, the film tells us up front, is a show we all perform in. But in the rest of the telling, Ghostlight argues that acting specifically, and the arts broadly, are necessary tools for understanding it.
The Film Stage
John Fink
A masterfully crafted work with nearly no false notes, Kelly O'Sullivan and Alex Thompson's Ghostlight is a tender drama bearing profound moments of humor and small triumphs.
Screen Rant
Mae Abdulbaki
Ghostlight bridges the gap between art & reality, blending a poignant narrative that aims to better understand a loved one & the expression of grief.
MeierMovies.com
Cameron Meier
[Dan] identifies with the characters in such a way as to stretch believability - if not for the well-placed ambiguities and subtle reveals of Kelly O'Sullivan's sensitive script.
ScullyVision
Dan Scully
The tears come from as many moments of warm, humane joy as they do from the film's sadder scenes.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
Kupferer gives a particularly powerful and understated performance, and it's so affecting to watch as his character not only finds a place where he belongs, but also one where he can finally feel.
