[Girl Haunts Boy] begins simply with a girl meeting a boy, and develops into a thoughtful film about the past and its continued impact on us in the present.

While the idea of interacting with ghosts may feel like it is a movie to watch more around the Halloween season, Girl Haunts Boy is a film that could be enjoyable at any point of the year.

Ghost stories are a dime a dozen. Ghost stories that are actually about grief, about love, and about the joy that can be found, even in dark times, when someone else really, truly sees you, are very rare indeed.

"Girl Haunts Boy" is a surprisingly emotional, feel-good flick with a sprinkling of spooky and a wallop of well-realized character drama. It's a cozy Fall treat eager to envelop you in its warmth and tenderness.
