A welcome, refreshing ...
By dodger#1 from GOOLE , 24 Oct 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
A welcome, refreshing tale of two best friends coping with life after high school. Thora Birch is mesmerising as Enid, the main protagonist who pours scorn on fast food, contemporary music and those who don't make her grade. If you're tired of movies where good looking guys fall for perfect girls, usually followed by predictable third acts that pan out exactly the way you thought, then Ghost World gives you a fresh spin on that formula. Steve Buscemi is as great as ever as the geeky record collector while Bob Balaban is delightful as Enid's ineffectual dad. Good direction by Crumb's Terry Zwigoff makes this well worth renting.- Was this review helpful to you?

(94)Banishing the completely metaphorical ghosts...
By Eb00089 (1 review) , 04 Nov 2012The movie is a wonderfully enlivening coming-of-age tale told from two different perspectives featuring two different personalities. The film is quite dark in places and loves to light up some of the more taboo topics of teenage life with a quirky sense of poignancy and does it to great effect.
Great performances from all involved and a thoroughly likable film that really harks back to a bygone era where the antiquity of society was repressed by some and cherished by others. The film says a lot but never seems to be weighed down by its extra sub-text, catering for a wider audience.- Was this review helpful to you?

un-comfort zone
By pulteneyloon (14 reviews) , 29 Jul 2012Due to censorship in the various places we have been we have missed out on this slice of misanthropy - and it was well worth the wait. Thora Birch is outstanding and the whole restlessness/recklessness of the character propels this likable if uncomforting movie- Was this review helpful to you?

Quirky
By Mutter (155 reviews) from Wadhurst, England , 01 May 2012If you want domething different - watch this. Holds the attention. Steve Buscemi can do no wrong. Two female actors also excellent, managed dialogue without an abundance of 'Okay's, 'Hey's and hyper-active gesticulations which is usual with Hollywood actors. Well done ladies!- Was this review helpful to you?

You just want to spank these people.
By Onlyests (57 reviews) , 18 Jan 2012A fairly good coming-of-age movie. Typically, the teenage character gets irritating cause you can see all the bad decisions she's making. Still, a good film.- Was this review helpful to you?

Slow,dull and very boring, not a comedy at all
By mumtoobusytogotoflics (2 reviews) from west sussex , 14 Jan 2012Dull, tedious and very slow. No comedy here at all for me. Its as boring as the life it portrays, Scarlotte Johansson is completely wasted, she didn't even smile, it was as if she didn't want to be there on set, and was tired of being in it herself.- Was this review helpful to you?
