Verismo Filmmaking
After the first 15 minutes of Ghostlight, I had the strangest feeling that this was not a fictitional story, that it had more truth to it than just a script, direction and acting. There is an accumulation of intensity and detail that pulls you into its world, even though that world (and the story) develop at a deliberately unrushed pace, which is unusual for an American film. And while some reviews have wanted a longer film or better editing, I felt after the film ended, that there is nothing I would change. So much of the interaction between the characters is so natural, it feels like it was based on a real incident. This is not an easy film and it has a large share of pain in its unfolding of what is a tragic story. Very well done.
