Ghosts

About This Movie

Richard Eyre's 'Ghosts' (2014) is a fascinating adaptation of Ibsen's play, steeped in an atmosphere of quiet tension and unresolved conflict. The pacing is deliberate, drawing you into Helene Alving's world, where her intentions clash with societal expectations. The performances are striking, especially by the lead, as she navigates her past and the shadows of her late husband. Oswald’s return adds a layer of complexity, especially as family secrets unravel. The film handles heavy themes like duty, morality, and the burden of legacy with a certain gravity that lingers. It’s not flashy but rather relies on its strong script and nuanced performances to create a haunting experience that resonates long after the credits roll.
