CRITIC REVIEWS:​

​

100% Fresh critics consensus on Rotten Tomatoes

​

"Ghost ultimately haunts the viewer with tight dialogue, brave character development, and powerful storytelling [...]

a slow burn father-son drama that ramps up meticulously to an effective powder keg finale." - Adam Mock | Film Inquiry, 02 August 2021

​

"Artfully shot on an iPhone, this low-key drama is an original variation of the British crime movie. Where the narrative goes is powerfully moving,

stirring glimmers of healing into a painful situation, as each character struggles to be the decent person they know they are inside." - Rich Cline
