5.0 out of 5 stars Funny! Poignant! Refreshing! 8 Aug 2008
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a really enjoyable film. Focussing its attentions upon the young person's search for identity,the perpetuation/cessation of teen-angst malaise and the fear of conventionality, this is a proverbial hoot. A cracking, well-structured script infectiously and sympathetically portrays an early, formative rites-of-passage tale with infectious and engaging humour. Everything that "Juno" ought to have been but wasn't, this is a must-see movie!

5.0 out of 5 stars May just be my favourite all-time movie! 1 Aug 2005
By Gerry
Format:DVD
There is just something about this film!
Very atmospheric with brilliant cinematography and an almost permanent air of melancholy and loss.
Quite funny in parts but it's the overpowering sense of gloominess which makes the film - honest!
The two female leads are excellent as is Steve Buscemi. The haunting piano theme tune compliments the visuals and the opening dance sequence (from a 1960s Bollywood musical) is amazing.
I'd like to have learned more about the anti-semitic redneck character's relationship with Enid (Thora Birch) but as I've not read the book I don't know if this line is pursued futher in print. (The comic book is also available from Amazon.)

I'd thoroughly recommend you check out this movie. The odd thing is that my kids (female,ages 12 & 14) don't like it but I (male age 45) do! Maybe they are a bit too young for all that angst!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ghost World haunts 28 Feb 2009
Format:DVD
This is a triumph of literature and film, this is a comic book adaptation that deserves nothing but praise, and let us not have the narrow minded and elitist view that just because its source material is a comic book, it doesn't deserve praise.

This is the most accurate account of a coming of age story I have ever seen. Enid and Rebecca are an Everyman. They represent what we have all been through in trying to adjust into adult life after being carefree and sheltered while at school. The notion that whilst Enid stands static while all around moves and adapts to new surroundings and responsibilities is ever present. Enid (Birch) represents us all in many ways, who amongst us has never longed for something less mundane and uniform? She is very if a little too individualistic, she is reaching out for some comfort and even though she relishes something different she wants something familiar also.

This is a very bitter-sweet and humorous film, all characters are very well developed and over the top of the coming of age thread is the development of the relationship between Enid and Seymour(Buscemi). Both in their own ways non conformists. Seymour is the odd-ball who is lonely and tricked by Enid into going to a diner to meet a woman who he thinks has replied to his personals advertisement in the local paper. After feeling bad and discovering that he lives close by, she befriends him and they find that they have much in common. At first she sees him as a curiosity and something to be played with, but as the they see more of each other there is a genuine affection towards him.

Whilst this is happening the proposed move in the Rebecca (Johansson) keeps being put off. The once indestructible friendship of Enid and Rebecca diminishes rapidly.

On the whole one life is blooming, whilst one is destroyed and one never really starts. This will make you laugh,think and leave you feeling sentimental and sad. The evocative power of this film is great and is a definite must see. With great performances from all concerned, and the unlikely chemistry between Steve Buscemi and Thora Birch excellent.

see it, buy it, you will love it.

This film from 2001, sees Steve Buscemi, well known from many later roles, as a geeky, middle aged man, alone in small-town America. Read more

Did not like this film at all! I really just wanted to "turn over". I stuck it out to the end though and now I will stick it in the bin!
