Ghostlight is at the top of my list for Oscar nominations. No fluff, no preface at the beginning of this review. I will obviously go into detail but Ghostlight was truly one of the best movies of the year. We know that I love movies about movies, but you know what I love more….movies about THEATRE. Yeah that’s right my little theatre nerd heart was so very happy with every aspect of this movie.

My favorite part is that other people get to see how healing theatre can be. Whether it’s for escapism, and you desperately need to be someone else for a few hours or you need to work through something that’s really weighing on you, theatre is such a great outlet. Ghostlight really demonstrated that perfectly and it made me very emotional. It was the best of both words for me, film and theatre is where my heart lives. I think the casting was incredible. The fact that Kieth and Katherine Kupferer were both cast really added to the tension and emotional weight of the writing. I think they should both secure a nomination, as should the film for best film and for original screenplay. We know I judge off of rewatchability as much as anything else and for that it gets a 9/10 because it’s simply too sad for regular rewatching.
