Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Pistorius is a forthcoming interview subject, telling his life story as Ascher cuts to fascinatingly staged recreations. Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Harrison Richlin IndieWire It’s not always an easy watch, but one that constantly intrigues and is invested in accounting for all we may not fully understand about those who are unable to communicate by traditional means. Rated: B+ Mar 8, 2025 Full Review Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter Compared to Ascher’s other films, which blend documentary, movie-like recreations and a certain form of cinematic speculation, what makes Ghost Boy stand apart is that everything in it really happened, even if it appears completely unreal at times. Mar 8, 2025 Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex Rather than tell a traditional tale of “overcoming disability,” Ascher allows his subject to elaborate on his unique world views. Rated: 7/10 Mar 12, 2025 Full Review John Fink The Film Stage Ascher is a unique choice to direct the film; he does so with great sensitivity and attention to detail as Martin recounts the feeling of having all the time in the world before regaining the ability to communicate. Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Damon Wise Deadline Hollywood Daily At an ambitious 95 minutes, Ghost Boy tends to lag in places, but both director and narrator are aware of their story’s potential to get stuck in a groove, and both are there to pick up the slack whenever it’s needed.
