The film is very atmospheric, it's slow burning, which for many people will be a turn off right there. The movie is about acceptance, if not able to seek it in life can he in the afterlife. There's been movies before where certain people can see the dead but only a few. It makes me wonder about life, death, & people who a Schizophrenic, like the film A Beautiful Mind, if someone can be that incredibly intelligent, what else are they able to see.
We are willing to accept they can solve extremely complicated mathematical equations & other mind blowing things but as soon as they see people that aren't there or we can't fathom then they have a mental illness. Jamie Marks however wasn't an Imaginary friend, he was once a living breathing human being, but he left the world lonely, an outcast & in death felt the same emptiness. Without giving away spoilers the people who do see Jamie are rather outcasts themselves, perhaps not to the degree that Jamie was but still loners nevertheless! I think it's a good film, there's another ghost that has passed on that JMID focuses on for a small part of the duration of the film, but the message it is trying to convey is maybe when we leave this world we need to be at peace, if not we will go through eternity feeling the way we did when alive or will repeat the same pattern, the same one we followed exactly at the precise time when we left the world. I left off a couple of stars basically because of the woman the mother had befriended or rather who had befriended her. I suppose that was another lesson about forgiveness & letting go of anger or sorrow, but it does T delve into the reason why Soto me it deemed unnecessary!
