For all of it's mirroring of real life circumstances, The Ghost Writer's shrouded revelations are ever transitory.
July 31, 2012
It's a slow build that hints at something big from the beginning but unravels nicely throughout.
March 05, 2010
The swirl of visual poetry, political intrigue and personal zeal that Polanski creates gets under your skin and brings an icy hand up your back. This is moviemaking.
February 17, 2011
The great thing about Brosnan's performance is that his character's shadow looms over the entire film, yet Brosnan never resorts to chewing the scenery or becoming a Blair charicature.
March 05, 2010
Polanski is in total command of his medium, something that hasn't been a sure thing since the 1970s, The Pianist notwithstanding.
June 20, 2013
In the total context of Polanski's hard life and grim ordeals ... The Ghost Writer constitutes a miracle of artistic and psychological resilience.
April 15, 2010
The thread of black humour that runs throughout the film compensates for its occasional moments of madness. It's a film just silly enough to be taken deadly seriously.
May 01, 2011
The Ghost Writer is tense, unsettling and deeply thrilling because of the way a master filmmaker looks at the world.
March 04, 2010
So elegant, so deliciously scary, so masterfully controlled that you feel tingles of bliss even as your skin crawls.
April 04, 2011
Polanski's a master of carefully drawing you in that cold gray place where everything is wrong, no one sleeps well and secrets are hidden from the hapless main character until it's too late for anyone to make it out with their lives or souls intact.
March 05, 2010
The result is a political thriller refreshingly long on grown-up dialogue yet lamentably shy on, well, thrills. This chatty thing does go on.
March 04, 2010
Another director would almost certainly have bobbled this devilish mixture of paperback suspense, political chicanery, and jet-black comedy. In Polanski's hands, it's an unholy pleasure: a diversion that stings.
