Blithe Spirit

CriticsCritics: 72
AudienceAudience: 7.1

A skeptical novelist hosts a séance as research for his latest book, but the experiment unexpectedly brings back the spirit of his deceased first wife. Because only he can see her, his current marriage becomes increasingly tangled in a witty, supernatural farce.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you appreciate sharp British humor, supernatural farce, and memorable eccentric performances; Not for you if you prefer fast-paced modern comedy or naturalistic storytelling.
