Leave your thoughts about A Magnificent Haunting.
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanCharming, funny and just a little twisted, it's The Frighteners in the city of La Dolce Vita. |
| Observer (UK)Mark KermodeThere's real pleasure to be had watching the worlds of the living and the dead intermingle, and Ozpetek handles the supernatural elements with ease, balancing the magic and the mundane to rewarding effect. |
| Total FilmSimon KinnearA gentle comedy about a gay man's attachment to old-school notions of romance, Ferzan Ozpetek's film is reminiscent of Woody Allen at his most whimsical. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineThis offbeat ghost story draws us in with its sharp-edged comedy then gets under our skin by quietly shifting the lively humour into much darker emotion. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeA Magnificent Haunting doesn't achieve the grand heights it aspires to and it probably won't haunt you for very long, but it has some interesting ideas and it contains some very impressive work. |
| Time OutBen WaltersThe tension between fantasy and reality, idealism and pragmatism, is at the heart of the story, and explored with some complexity. |
| The ListTom DawsonIt's an elegantly shot and designed tale, yet strangely lacking in emotional weight. |
| Little White LiesWally HammondIn the Ozpetek canon, this one is non-essential. |
| ViewLondonJennifer TateFails to enchant thanks to an uneven tone, underdeveloped characters and a laboured final act. |
| GuardianChris MichaelPietro's struggle to reconcile fiction and reality is just about charming enough to hold this frustratingly unresolved and lightly uncomic film together. |
