Ghostlight
2024 ‧ Comedy/Drama
Review: Kelly O’Sullivan and Alex Thompson’s Ghostlight is prime fodder for nitpickers. It has its narrative flaws, and I would be the first to admit that key moments would likely never happen. And yet, I’m glad that I haven’t gotten so old and bitter that I take a hypercritical look at all that comes my way. If so, I would be robbing myself of gifts like those bestowed by this magical, sincere, moving motion picture.
O’Sullivan’s script is a tantalizing, and at times, vexing construction. We aren’t immediately made aware of all that’s amiss with the Mueller family, but it is readily apparent that a cataclysmic event has occurred that has torn them asunder. Dan (Keith Kupferer) is a construction worker who obviously has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Preoccupied at work, he’s reticent to talk about what’s bothering him.
His wife, Sharon (Tara Mullen), is unsteady as well, uncertain how to speak to her husband anymore, aware that one wrong word will likely set him off. Adding to their woes is their daughter Daisy’s behavior (Katherine Mallen Kupferer), the 15-year-old acting out at school, constantly suspended and on the verge of being expelled.
