A slow, loving ghost-story in the vein of A Ghost Story, beautifully written and directed. Each actor brought it; that kid is so endearing, not only how he looks but how he moves, just darling. The story is about a pull, sweet and strong. It is so sweet and so strong that the two parents of the dead child gave up their real lives to give into it. That way they could live in their bubble forever. The shadow cast upon this idyll is the foreboding one gets when contemplating that things never will change; the bubble degrades if it's static forever. It might seem like what happens at the end is the sadness but actually it's the thing that made their lives vibrant. Living with the ghost of their dead son would have become toxic.

A slow, loving ghost-story
Weepy but not wimpy
What a fantastic film this is, it has it all for a tear-jerker.
For a start, this is not a horror film; more of a ghost story and will most likely appeal to the ladies although I have to admit I found it a superb film and even though I am a guy I did shed a few tears myself and I am most definitely not a big girls blouse but this one got me big style (so be warned guys!).
The acting is first class; the pairing of the main characters and the little boy was absolutely perfect. A sparkling script that takes us from point to point and never becomes boring or trite but just adds layer upon layer of drama to the unfolding story of love and the miracle of life, the possibility of a hereafter and forgiveness.
If you have a gentle heart and are looking for a subtle tear-jerker of a movie and especially to watch as a couple then this will not disappoint in the least.
It is hard to find words after such movie.
This is a good movie. The one of some of them.
Good directing, good acting, good dialogues and good story.
Does not hurry when it does not need to be.
And it does not force the emotions to the audience. Those come by thelselves.
Congratulation to all participants.
Unfairly underrated.
