    Rubin’s script is a lethally effective tragicomic fantasy.

    Rolling Stone May 12, 2001

    Zucker dutifully pushes all the buttons – romance, thrills, laughs, tears – that have been pushed before by more assured hands.

    One of the finest (and weepiest) love stories ever to hit the big screen, Ghost is a a fundamental human tale that touches the hardest heart.

    Washington Post January 1, 2000

    The actors succeed quite nicely in unifying the movie’s multiple personalities, its ricocheting screenplay.

    RogerEbert.com January 1, 2000

    Contains some nice ideas, and occasionally, for whole moments at a time, succeeds in evoking the mysteries that it toys with.

    Los Angeles Times June 25, 2013

    The movie’s slogan is "Believe," not an unreasonable request. But even those who’d be happy to comply must get past Ghost’s one c...

    Ghost is a dazzlingly enjoyable pop thriller.

    The passion and poignancy of trying to communicate with the dead is well-exploited here. Moore has never been more fetching.

    Slant Magazine July 13, 2015

    Ghost modestly warns against indignant attitudes toward class status.

    What it offers, apart from the overblown special effects that seem inescapable in American movies, is an unusual and effective combination of swoon...

    A bad movie that a lot of people will like.

    Rolling Stone May 12, 2001

    Zucker dutifully pushes all the buttons – romance, thrills, laughs, tears – that have been pushed before by more assured hands.

    Variety October 18, 2008

    Ghost is an odd creation – at times nearly smothering in arty somberness, at others veering into good, wacky fun.

    Given its obviously commercial aims, Ghost is remarkably appealing on a purely personal level. It is about how you deal with death.

    Ghost is one part horror picture, one part comedy, one part love story, one part murder mystery and four parts entrancing.

    One of my favorite childhood films, recorded by me and my dad on cassette and watched many times. I still love this romantic and at the same time tragic picture. The visuals are dated but look nice. Demi Moore plays grief perfectly. Final

    What a beautiful and touching love story! Although the genre is naive, everything is presented in a magically convincing, rich and funny way (Whoopi is good).

    Translated to English

    Watched

    I didn’t appreciate Jerry Zucker’s picture; perhaps in those days the clichés and hackneyed plot were not very striking, but in 2020, even though it was a classic, it looked good and without any emotions. I would definitely watch a sequel or a remake with new technologies, but not all this…

    Why do they love this movie? Because it satisfies people’s need for justice… But a continuation can be made. In which THEY get back together.

    Maximum score on the romance scale. Beautiful Swayze and Demi Murie, brilliant Whoopi Goldberg. Sensual, easy. The atmosphere of the 90s, in some places it seems that the events of the movie "Home Alone" are taking place on a parallel street.

    a fairy tale is a fairy tale, but how suitable for all ages! "love is within us and will always be with us."

    Decent melodrama! Not filled with such toxic cutesy relationships. "Subtle" romance with elements of classic American action films… love, murder, showdowns… but not too much! The whole theme is both funny and reverent…Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze are at their best!!!

    Translated to English

    Watched

    The most "star-studded" film about love that is stronger than death, without a drop of pathos. The 90s are a golden time for world cinema, where the presence of top actors does not deprive the film of the tenderness and warmth that you feel through the monitor screen. Demi Moore’s best role, definitely.

    Even in 2023, you can watch it again with great pleasure and be amazed at how well and efficiently the film was made for 1990. The love story is very heartwarming. But there is both mysticism and a thriller mixed in here – the plot is wonderful. Plus great humor and acting!

    You can’t think of anything cooler about mysticism that I saw in this film, good content for viewers.

    The film has an interesting plot, it is at the same time a thriller, in which there is a dynamically developing plot and fantasy and melodrama, by the way, the latter occupies a very important part in the plot.

    The film is timeless. The emotions, experiences, feelings, problems shown in it are understandable and close to any generation. A brilliant example of a mixture of touching drama and comedic moments.

    A very cute, funny and touching movie. I thought I was going to cry, but everything worked out and I didn’t want to cry at all.

    Classic! Despite all the "rarity" of the painting, it evokes only warm emotions. A movie you want to watch again
