The first 45 minutes of this film are a wonderful fake documentary about a family trying to cope with a drowned teenage daughter (okay, rather her absence...), only to see her appear in photos and films after her death. It turns out the son was the culprit, faking evidence of her "ghost". So far so good. What impressed me was the very believable documentary-mood of everything. The interviews, the dialogues, monologues and editing all made sense.
Rating So Far: 7
Then, alas, the writers / director derail by suggesting that besides the fake evidence she actually _does_ appear. Shock shock, horror horror. Not. It's a shame that these last 20 minutes turn the film into a farce. We had some discussions among ourselves about what this film could've been, but I myself find this tricky since it is too easy to project your own "perfect" type of film unto it. There is definitely something nice in there, if only they knew where and when to stop.
Final Rating: 5
