Quick Hit

The Spirit Is Willing works when the atmosphere feels bruised and intimate, even if the mechanics are shaky. I can see the ache, not always the shape.

Full Take

This one lives in atmosphere first and story second, which can be a blessing or a problem. There’s texture in the shadows and a real ache in the performances. Once the mood is set, everything comes down to whether the film can cash in its own setup. The haunting works because loss is sitting right under the surface. That’s the line between haunting and just looking haunted.
