Critics' reviews
- "A buoyant, funny, and disarmingly humane comedy of beautiful losers in revolt."
- "Smart, surpassingly odd, extremely funny and mysteriously endearing at the same time."
- "If, like me, you've been wondering how Terry Zwigoff, the brilliant documentary filmmaker who made 'Crumb,' would negotiate his shift to fiction filmmaking, here's your answer: brilliantly."
- "Funny, insightful, unpredictable and blessed with pitch-perfect performances, Ghost World is one of the year's best movies."
- "A singularly unsettling portrait of a culture in the grip of the mediocre."
