GHOSTLIGHT

Dirs. Kelly O’Sullivan and Alex Thompson | Drama / Comedy | U.S.A.  | 2024 | 1 hr. 55 min.

Dan, a melancholic, middle-aged Chicago construction worker, is grieving a family tragedy. Disconnected from his wife Sharon and fiery teenage daughter Daisy, he falls in with a troupe of charming, quirky misfits when he unexpectedly joins a community production of the Shakespeare play Romeo and Juliet. He doesn’t believe in therapy, but in the process of rehearsing and acting he confronts his personal loss and grief. This moving film, by the duo who created the award-winning indie favorite Saint Frances, is a tribute to the healing power of art and the magic of theater.
