Wow, this was such a beautiful film! It reminded me in a way of 'A Ghost Story' (which I also absolutely loved). The acting was very good and it is beautifully filmed. Lee Pace in particular was very good as the father, Mark. The film has so much depth and emotion, it is just a very special film. Just to be clear, this film is sometimes labelled as a horror film. It is not. This is a fantasy drama. People who has just lost a child (or someone very dear to them) might want to steer clear of the film, as they're bound to reach for the tissue box more often than not. Despite all this emotion, though, the film also has some incredibly scary moments.

I loved the way the film ended. Although we knew what was coming, it was left to our imagination. Loved it. Great twist! Sad. Very sad.

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.

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.

Tender and painful, beautifully executed movie. Not a typical "horror" movie but eerie enough to keep me watching. Characters are well played, and captured that feeling we all have from time to time, that it's "hard to move on".

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.

I have no idea who this film was made for and judging by the release model, neither did the marketing team. Good actors find themselves trapped in a one note script and the audience will checking their phones every ten minutes. Odd film and a bizarre choice for Blumhouse. Slow and tiresome.

I didn't expect it will turn to a drama from horror because its category was horror but this might be the best fantastic-drama movie I've ever seen in my life. it's making its way through smoothly and very gently for viewers to deliver the message. I'm really satisfied about that movie. made my day and left a permanent taste in my mind. Thanks for the feelings.

This is one of the most boring movies I have EVER seen. Halfway through your waiting for something scary to happen, yet it's still nothing but their child running around the house acting cute and the couple slowly starting to fall in love again, ...and I MEAN SLOWLY!. It's worst than any Lifetime movie. You will die of boredom.

That I only cried about 6 times while watching this movie.

All jokes aside, (I did actually, cry though.) This movie exceeded all of my expectations. 100% recommend you watch this.

Btw, to anyone interested in watching this movie, Please do ignore the negative reviews below. People tend to review a movie on how they wanted it to be, or how they wish it went, instead of reviewing the movie as it's own.

So, example, it's set as a drama/horror/romance movie, (in this case) and people are leaving bad reviews because they "wished it was a horror movie" and that they "wasted their time". Well, to this kind of people I wish to say: Maybe watch a movie that's only set as a horror movie, next time? OR, maybe go read other reviews before watching. Thanks.

This movie simply seamlessly proceeded another movie I was watching on streaming. So I had no clue of what "genre" the movie was "supposed to be." The one sentence logline said nothing about "horror." I say this because most of the negative reviews on here are complaining that the movie was "NOT horror."

Free from that expectation, I was able to enjoy the movie for what it was - a poignant family drama driven by a supernatural occurrence. The movie, written and directed by women, quite deftly explores the nuances of grief, accountability, holding on, and letting go.

The movie is never "horrific" or gory - the only blood seen is no more than an occasional nosebleed. And the "supernature" for what's its worth is understated and matter-of-fact.

The child actors are quite brilliant and remarkable, especially Jacob, the child ghost. Movie viewers wishing for a demon child will be gravely disappointed.

Curious as to how all this could be wrapped up neatly, I must say the resolution was satisfying. That said, I am a little mystified why the husband waited so long to tell the -ex that the child released his own safety strap. This is something I would have shared IMMEDIATELY. In fact, the -ex literally walked into the room seconds later.

Playing out more like a psychological family drama than a horror film or "thriller" I was touched by all the emotional struggles experienced by nearly everyone involved.

The story is well acted and directed. The mother's fate is difficult to accept The ghost part is acceptable..

This is certainly not a horror story, but very much a love story. I'm not usually into love stories but the ghostly element persuaded me to have a look, and I'm so glad that I did. It is beautifully filmed and produced, and the acting is great. The plot is quite original and has a simplistic appeal leading up to an unexpected twist at the end. Life goes on even after great tragedy, but still one can find beauty and love. Be prepared to shed a tear or two!

This is a lovely, thoughtful movie about love, loss and forgiveness.

Beautifully filmed in a loving, slow paced way. It's a movie you just go into with no expectations and it finds a home within you.

Characterisations are well written and Sander Thomas is such a find as Jacob. Both Lee Pace and Carrie Coon are excellent in their respective roles.

I know that this is a movie I'll watch time and again. Subtle, soft and moving.

It's a story about the ghost of a kid that returns years after his death. And reunites divorced mother and father in a somewhat touching yarn. I had the feeling like I'd seen this before tho. Not too original to me. Not sure why. 6/10.

Oh... I just noticed the tagline HORROR on this one...this is not horror. Nothing horrific about it one bit. -1 Star. 5/10.

Ok, so I just wanted to see a good horror movie and put on this. It was nothing scary, but it is a lovely and sad movie in every possible ways. The next day watched again. If you have a soul, try this. Believe me :)

Ok, so I get that this type of film, you have to really let your imagination stretch out. BUT, there still has to be rules, even in ghost movies. In this, there are none. First ghost boy can't leave the house, then he can. And he apparently eats?? And sleeps?? And what was with deceased 'mom' showing up for a minute? I really liked all the acting, everyone was very real and convincing in their roles. And at first I thought I would like this. But man, it really falls off a cliff with no plot-line guardrails, and became a real bore. Horrible character study too, you never really got to know them or care about them. Sorry, but it's a waste of time (and of a 6.4 grade!).

Definitely a hidden gem - I found very few quality reviews about this film, and yet it moved me beyond my expectation. The premise was simple: a couple lost their child, their child return to act as facilitator of their reconciliation. The superb acting, sincerity, and fluid dialogues are what carried the film through. The story and the images will stay with me for a very long time.

There is literally one jumpscare scene in the early part of the movie but that is it. The rest of the movie is a dramatic love story about a couple and the ghost of their dead kid. It is decently acted but the story itself is pretty sappy and overly dramatic. It is completely nonsensical how easily the circumstances just became "a matter of fact" and the ending is quite cheesy but it is semi-entertaining and watchable. If I knew this is what it was going to be like going into to it, I probably wouldn't have watched it, but at the same time I'm not completely disappointed that I've seen it. A very mediocre and average 5/10
