(1 - 40) of 40 OFCS Rating: 97% Fresh Page   1   10 "No es una cinta clásica de la adolescencia y la complejidad de ser, sino una mezcla poderosa de sensaciones, imágenes y ambientes..."   Cinenganos   Alex Ramirez 4/4 "Ghost World leaves me haunted when the minutes drag."   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers 4/4 "For those of us who tire of standard teen movies, here’s the film to brighten our day."   NutzWorld   Blake French A- "Though heartbreaking, Ghost World has also a sublime sense of dark humor..."   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna "It's smart, sensitive, and insightful about the lunacy that constitutes adolescence, and never forgets how real and how complicated kids' feelings are."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3.5/4 "By exaggerating the foibles of modern life only slightly, Zwigoff and Clowes have made a satire that thankfully has more than ridicule on its mind."   Lawrence Journal-World   Dan Lybarger 3/4 "...a very distinctive, offbeat and poignant endeavor, steeped in rich performances and characterizations and bursting with inevitable wisdom."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes A "I honestly can't remember how long its been since I have seen a teenage film as memorable as this one."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3.5/4 "One of the best films of the year, a movie that takes a painstakingly realistic look at the difficulties of growing up...Thora Birch is a revelation."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 4/4 "An ironic, humorous, painful and never pandering account of the ghostly nature that accompanies loss, hurt, regret, love and, ultimately, memory itself."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B+ "It is to the film's credit that it treats Enid more seriously than she treats herself, eventually developing her as a dynamic, sympathetic character."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider A "The better, unpretentious version of The Catcher in the Rye that Salinger never wrote."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3.5/4 "In Terry Zwigoff's stridently astute Ghost World, he examines the nature of youth-oriented alienation with offbeat poignancy and supportable depth."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng B "Will provide modest enjoyment for viewers who like a challenge and don't go expecting too much."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "The best comedy of the year so far...a witty look at an adolescent rebel's attempts to be an authentic person in a bogus culture of trivial pursuits."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "A refreshing change from the usual summer fare, offering interesting characters, smart dialogue, biting satire (the concept of 'high art' gets shredded), and dark comedy."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/4 "An often funny, often painful portrait of the abyss that is postadolescence."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 9/10 "A sympathetic, poignant portrait of a girl who is going through a confusing and hurtful time."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 4/4 "The general snarkiness of Ghost World eventually becomes profoundly sad."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman "A breath of fresh air in a mostly stale cinematic world where filmmakers might take financial chances, but usually not artistic risks."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 9/10 "Check it out if you're looking for a sardonic flick with a unique point of view, some great performances, fun dialogue, a catchy soundtrack, many clever bits and a resounding, heart-felt message."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 8/10 "...haunting, humorous, biting, insightful, touching, and immensely rewarding."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "Reflects its origins in a surface depth that implies more meaning than it delivers."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Jonathan F. Richards 3 "I didn’t love this movie, but on some level I really connected with it. Maybe you will too. But you can find out by renting it."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 4/4 "It's one of the most genuine and smart films I've seen all year."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B ""Ghost World's" ectoplasmic protagonists are haunting, but it's ethereal conclusions leave us wanting."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "Quite an amusing little satire."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "Ghost World may be the most genuine film I've ever seen about the misery of being a disaffected teenager."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "A hilariously warped affront to everything that glossy, factory-assembled, youth-targeted Hollywood product represents."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 5/5 "I wanted to hug Ghost World, and I was sad to see it end."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3.5/5 "Directed with a real sense of visual assurance by Zwigoff, the film looks great and is full of clever little touches that make it come to life."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 5/5 "If more people appreciated stories like this, movies and comic books would be better off."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 3/4 "Story is weak and bleak ... but enjoyable because the characters are so interesting and so loaded with human frailties ..."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "...a true teen movie, not just for girls."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 8/10 ""A weird, satirical coming-of-age black comedy that haunts.""   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger "Ghost World soars with the poetry of Buscemi's performance."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 8/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 3/4 Read review   Movie Boeuf   David N.
