First thing's first: even though the name has "ghost" in it, it's far from being a run-of-the-mill horror flick. I was honestly surprised at how heartwarming the movie ended up being.
Between the Hungry Ghost Festival "celebrations" and the dynamics between Bonnie and her father, the film certainly shows a side of life as a Chinese Malaysian that you don't typically see on the big screen.
Docked a few points because I found myself a bit confused on the plot and the music choice at some points, it definitely left me feeling a little dazed and I feel like I would need to rewatch the movie to "get it".
However, I am still glad I caught this movie in the cinema. For what it's worth, I understood everything even though I don't speak much Chinese dialects, and I enjoyed some of the comedic bits that truly seemed to come out of nowhere. I would love to see more movies like this in the cinema!
