September 16, 2009A great comic adaption from Terry Zwigoff . It's fast becoming a bit of a cult classic and rightly so. Birch's unexpectedly good performance is what really makes the film though, while Buscemi is great supporting role seals the deal. A great little film that flew under the radar!

January 5, 2009This is one of those little gems that almost escaped my notice. Outstanding and highly recommended!

December 28, 2008Its tough being a smart outcast. Enid realizes that she is turning into the very deadbeats that she ostracizes.
I enjoyed this movie - as I do most movies where the characters are finding out about themselves. I still haven't figured out where that bus goes though. -
September 1, 2008Ghost World is a terrific movie. I loved and appreciated Terry Zwigoff's off beat take on the roles we often play, while trying to find ourselves.
This movie was exceptionally well cast. Thora Birch was perfectly biting, as Enid. Steve Buscemi is a very eminent actor. His role ...( read more) -
July 19, 2008"Ghost World" was one of my favorite films throughout all of high school. For a coming of age story, it's incredibly unique and unconventional.

November 15, 2009Mi mette sempre un'ansia pazzesca, un po' perché come Enid ho il terrore del futuro e perché non so assolutamente cosa fare della mia vita e un po' perché IO SONO Seymour, e ho paura di fare la sua fine.
È bellissimo e fa malissimo. -

November 5, 2009Brilliant movie. Love the atmosphere. Difficult to describe the story cause it might seem dull, but it never is. Really the characters and their interaction make this movie. I hope to find more movies like this. I dont know what genre this belongs to. Anyone?

Ghost World conforms reasonably well to the pattern of a traditional comedy while keeping its shaggy, haphazard comic-novel edge. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
The cast ... brings Mr. Clowes's sad world of loneliness and disaffection to vivid comic life. full review

January 5, 2008Fans of the film might be interested to know that the Coon's Chicken Inn and its VERY un-p.c. logo really did exist! It began as a small restaurant in Salt Lake City, Utah (of all places) and later branched out to Seattle, WA and Portland, OR.
