positive · AI labelView post →The Ghost Writer is handsome, smooth and persuasive. Polanski is a reminder of directors who were raised on craft, not gimmicks, and depended on a deliberate rhythm of editing rather than mindless quick cutting. The film immerses you in its experience.
positive · AI labelView post →lol i'm watching The Ghost Writer (2010) which i didn't realize took place in America at all, nonetheless close enough to my office for it to show up on a GPS
neutral · AI labelView post →My buddy made a film that has some amazing 90s PBS retro elements in it. You ought to give it a watch if you were ever a fan of the Ghost Writer series or just want to support independent cinema.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m watching The Ghost Writer for the first time since it came out. This is a good example of “the kind of movie that can’t get made in 2025.” Makes me wonder what Polanski and Lynch liked about Jim Belushi. I’d love to see a version of this film made in 1974, shot by Gordon Willis.

neutral · AI labelView post →“The Ghost Writer” is one of my fav films. Beautifully constructed, photographed, and acted. The final scene is simple and effective in summing up the entire film.
positive · AI labelView post →This is based on a novel by British writer Robert Harris. He’s had a few of his works made into movies, like the Roman Polanski movie THE GHOST WRITER. #ImpromptuTheater

Even if I were aware of the negativity around the film, I’d go see it. Great cast, interesting premise, and as an erstwhile Catholic, I’m practically obligated! 🤣

neutral · AI labelView post →It's quite difficult to watch this in the UK and not draw parallels with a certain real former Prime Minister - especially given the way "Lang" is rather chummily played by Pierce Brosnan. He is trying to have his memoirs written, and after an accident robs him of the incumbent, his team alight on a man who shows no interest in or has any knowledge of politics. This nameless character (Ewan McGregor) is given strict instruction about the manuscript, whom he can talk to or about it to and his…
positive · AI labelView post →I rated The Ghost Writer as the best film of its year. Probably shouldn’t rewatch that one if I want to bring his Letterboxd rating down
positive · AI labelView post →GoldenEye is the only good Bond film he made. Taffin is funny as hell. Tailor of Panama is an underrated near gem. But the only truly great performance he's ever given is in The Ghost Writer as Tony.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tom Wilkinson in THE GHOST WRITER is better than the whole movie, and the movie is good.
positive · AI labelView post →Such an eerie and haunting movie… I expected just another political thriller, but this is so much more interesting… The remote setting, the media storm… the layered motivations of the characters, sexual, financial, political etc… It was also great to see cinematography that wasn’t just close ups of talking heads, which is the norm for these kinds of movies… I also liked the parallels to the real world, the Blair-esque prime minister, the Middle Eastern wars and such, but also that it really is…
