According to Buddhists, hungry ghosts are the dead who cannot bid farewell to the living. They are a metaphor for spiritual hunger which we often try to satisfy by chasing the superficial and material. This directing debut by Michael Imperioli is filled with hungry ghosts. A group of New Yorkers, of different ages, races and backgrounds, hunger for emotional, sensual, and spiritual fulfillment. Their intersecting and colliding paths reflect the zeitgeist of our times, in which the desperation of the West smacks up against the religious teachings of the East.
Leave your thoughts about The Hungry Ghosts.
| New York TimesMike HaleAn ensemble drama that applies the Crash formula to New York and steeps it in Eastern religion, therapeutics and addiction while exhibiting a giggly suburban take on Manhattan kink. |
| Slant MagazineSimon AbramsThe authenticity of Imperioli's understanding of spiritual revolution makes the screenplay, which unevenly vacillates between displays of schmaltzy sentiment and inept skid row melodrama, almost bearable. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckAn earnest effort that too often betrays its good intentions with an overly heavy hand. |
| Time OutKeith UhlichThirty-six hours. Multiple characters. Interlocking narratives. Michael Imperioli's Manhattan-set film-directing debut hits plenty of familiar notes, almost all of them off-key. |
| User ReviewRogelio EShocked at the negative reviews- I genuinely liked this movie, though I admit that it could have used a lighter touch at times. |
