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
