★★ What would be the problem with telling a story about a teenage girl whose “love of life” dies and seems to be sending her signals from beyond the grave? The same problem with telling the story of an archaeologist searching for the Ark of the Covenant or a knight playing chess with Death in the Middle Ages: none. The only condition is to tell it well and that the viewer can believe it. This kind of Ghost for centennials has the problem that its look, its narration and its cheap shots are made without grace, appealing only to how cute the protagonists are or can be considered. The big problem is therefore the extreme standardization and how uninteresting everything is not from the story but -worse- from its realization. The problem, let’s clarify, goes far beyond the nationality of the film.
