The Ghost in the Mirror

The scouts

A ghost needs help? Sure, invert the haunting premise—but the execution lands somewhere between Casper fan fiction and a greeting card, which feels like it's trying way too hard to be liked rather than weird.

There's a formal clarity to the role reversal, and the tonal balance between whimsy and darkness suggests a filmmaker aware of tone as structure; what's less clear is whether the film earns its emotional pivot or simply assembles it.

The whole thing pivots on a single performance choice—whether the ghost's neediness reads as pathetic or endearing—and Christie commits hard enough to that read that five minutes of a supernatural therapy session actually becomes genuinely moving.
