Leave your thoughts about Phantom Halo.
| The PlaylistOktay Ege KozakWith Phantom Halo, Bogdanovich, an actress who’s been playing bit parts since her first uncredited appearance in her father’s “The Last Picture Show,” shows that she has a knack for directing actors and building a visually appealing story. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfConfused and tedious, "Phantom Halo" is a mess of a movie that struggles to keep itself together for 90 minutes, gradually disintegrating until all that's left are good intentions. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongNone of it is convincing in the least, although the actors do as much as they can. "Phantom Halo" ends up feeling like a mash-up of two many other mediocre films. |
| New York TimesHelen T. VerongosA dark, satisfying work that can be forgiven for the moments it succumbs to Hollywood convention. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonAll of the disparate ideas and visual conceits never adds up to much in terms of emotional payoff. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreThe performances are believable enough. But the film’s violence is both expected and absurdly random. |
| The DissolveMatthew DessemPhantom Halo is overstuffed even before Bogdanovich starts layering in the soliloquies and comic book metaphors. |
| Slant MagazineOleg IvanovA genre mishmash cobbled together from the refuse of disparate visual and narrative modes. |
| User ReviewElizabeth KPersonally, I liked it. The plot is probably ordinary, but nevertheless actors did their job right. |
| User ReviewAlan HWith its cluttered plot and sub-stories, Phantom Halo manages to merge them into an exhilarating fusion towards the end. It is in fact sweet, touching and satisfying. Yet, its Tarantino-style elements are obvious and unsettling, and its Shakespearean vibe is pretentious. |
