Critic Reviews

Lou Lumenick

A bizarre and campily amusing "tribute" to the late dance legend starring drag queen Richard Move. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

When a 6-foot-tall man is playing your emotionally delicate heroine, a little subtlety goes a long way. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

It's hard to imagine anyone who isn't familiar with Graham and her place in 20th-century dance history getting drawn into Move and Herrmann's hall of Martha mirrors, but for the right viewer it's a fascinating exercise in self-reflexive mythmaking. Read full review

Dave Kehr

Represents something new under the sun: sincere camp. Read full review

Elizabeth Zimmer

Real history and raunch poke through, but the thirtysomething Move is too vital to be Martha in her dotage. Amusing for insiders, Ghostlight may confuse everyone else. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

Neither fish nor fowl, slick yet strangely rudderless Ghostlight sounds interesting in description but lacks fascination in actual viewing. Read full review

Frank Scheck

A less than satisfying cinematic experience. Read full review
