Keith Kupferer as Dan and Tara Mallen as Sharon laying on a bed in Ghostlight.
The Big Picture Early on in Ghostlight, the gentle yet earnest dramedy by filmmaking duo Alex Thompson and Kelly O’Sullivan, we sit with a couple of characters as they watch the 1996 Baz Luhrmann film Romeo + Juliet. The young daughter, Katherine Mallen Kupferer’s Daisy, humorously remarks how star Leonardo DiCaprio has changed quite significantly in the decades since the film came out.
Ghostlight DramaComedy When a construction worker unexpectedly joins a local theater's production of Romeo and Juliet, the drama onstage starts to mirror his own life. Though not quite as good as this, Ghostlight asks fundamental questions about the value of art in modern life in the same vein as the recent Perfect Days did ever so subtly. The same poetry and patience aren’t quite achieved here as the story itself often plays out more conventionally, undercutting emotional beats ever so slightly at key moments to spell out its ideas.
