When Dan (Keith Kupferer), a melancholic middle-aged construction worker, finds himself drifting from his wife and daughter after his son’s suicide, he discovers community and purpose in a local theatre’s production of Romeo
and Juliet. But as the drama on stage starts to mirror his own life, he finds the tragedies of the play too close to his own. Unwilling to confront his grief at home, he begins to confront his loss through the play. Funny and heartwarming, Ghostlight is an exploration of how we feel love and loss through art.
This deeply moving, highly intelligent film is about love, loss, grief, regret, repressed emotions, healing and the value of human connection. Its star should receive an Oscar nomination.

Standout Katherine Mallen Kupferer performance will deliver chills! Not to take away from anyone else but this maybe her best performance yet! Nagier Chambers, Big Gold Belt Media
