Un fantasma accanto a me

A sweet ghost story that slows down the pace and provides a touching theme of cherishing memories while still living in the present to the fullest. The acting and direction managed to evoke strong emotional responses which may be unexpected by viewers who thought they were hardened against sentimentality. Not for those looking for fast paced thrills. Almost gave up on it thinking it was dull but glad to stick with it for a good cry. The sci-fi time period disparity was handled quite nicely and the entire story was rendered very tastefully. It was a pleasure to be entertained without hearing the Lord's name used in vain or seeing anybody get shot or stabbed. A family film that provides a recreational retreat experience from which you come out refreshed and entertained. Its a good thing that such a selection is still available in the movie database.

Wow, what a beautiful movie with an original story! I think Peyton List and Michael Cimino were perfect casting and acted so well together. The story was so hauntingly beautiful even though it was sometimes sad. The music was also really well done and I loved the original songs, wish i could find them on Spotify or Apple music. The only reason I only gave this movie nine stars instead of ten is because while I understand why the movie ended the way it did and I thought it was a great ending, the romantic in me would have loved a different ending even more! I really do think this story has a wonderful message though so really the current ending perfectly serves that message. I definitely recommend watching it.

Girl Haunts Boy was honestly a pleasant surprise. It had that cozy, slightly quirky vibe that works well for a supernatural romance, and the directing kept things grounded even when the story leaned into the more whimsical moments. Emily Ting handled the pacing pretty well, giving the characters enough space to grow without dragging the plot. The production was clean and polished without feeling too polished, if that makes sense. It had a kind of indie spirit but looked and sounded like a proper feature.

Acting-wise, both Peyton List and Michael Cimino brought a lot of charm and sincerity to their roles. They had great chemistry, and it helped carry the emotional beats without things feeling forced. The script kept things light without losing its emotional core, which made it easy to connect with the characters. Nothing felt over-explained or too dramatic. The score was subtle but nicely done, and the cinematography had some soft, warm tones that gave the film a nice visual texture. It's one of those films that doesn't scream for attention but ends up sticking with you a bit after. Definitely worth a watch.

Watched with my wife and it was a quick fun movie that was a change of pace from the regular halloween releases the last few years. Definitely recommend for teens and pre-teens or just a nice couples movie to relax to. When it was over sitting with my wife we kept talking about it being so familiar and after some searching we remembered the old Disney movie with the Pink Power Ranger. Not exactly the same and (apparently there is no streaming copy of Susie Q available). Girl Haunts boy was Still a good watch with nice music and the actors did a nice job with a ghostly romance story. If you can find a copy of Susie Q after I would recommend for a follow up to this one.

I enjoyed the premise of the story but some aspects in the movie made me think the producers didn't quite get things right. For example, since when does a century old female ghost wear white nail polish? At different scenes she doesn't have nail polish though. Also, a national museum at night would not have the front door open and without a guard making it really easy to break in. Little things like that just makes me question the lack of attention to details. Yeah yeah I know it's a petty little thing, but things like that should matter when you're filming a movie. Authenticity matters to make the experience more fluid.
