But that twist at the end threw me off. I kinda saw it coming after he talks with his parents at the restaurant, and I found it unnecessary. A it too much maybe and I don’t get why he kept seeing Mescal’s character

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I liked it enough, specially with how good it looks. The photography is gorgeous really. The cast is alright. I guess is more powerful for those who experienced something similar in life.

because he wanted to, and because Mescal's character wanted to see him; the same reason he kept seeing his parents (until his parents decided to stop visiting him, because even ghosts can exercise free will); for me the movie is about unfinished business, and desire, as well as grief; and it's set apart from most of these imaginative "grief movies" by treating its ghosts as sentient, able to make decisions of their own accord and visit us, not just figments of the living's imagination

Wahlberg gets better every time I see it

Yeah that's true, and I'm not usually a fan of his. This and Boogie Nights might be the only movies I like him in, and I like him a lot in them.

Have you seen The Discarnates? The first adaptation of the novel. From the same director of Hausu. Is great.

The setup was engaging and well done, there were a fair share of nice visual touches, and look I will watch almost anything with Keoghan and Elrodi was an unknown to me surprise but once
