Ghost World
With only the plan of moving in together after high school, neo-cool Enid and Rebecca take a hard look at the world they wryly observe and decide what they really want. As a mere gag, they respond to a man's newspaper ad for a date, only to find it will greatly complicate their lives.

See it for Birch's hostile stare and Johansson's devastating monotone.

Zwigoff pulls off something in Ghost World that seems a minor miracle -- he creates someone with a complex inner life.

Like "Rushmore" with a female slant, "Ghost World" tackles the true torches we often keep to ourselves as well as the struggle of feeling like a specter, or, as Enid says, as though "everyone's too stupid to realize you."

While this isn't a showy or flashy movie, it has social, psychological, and ultimately mystical overtones that raise it leagues above most other teen-centered comedies.

The greatest distinction of "Ghost World" is its singular spirit. Here's a dark, deadpan comedy about alienated kids that manages to be smart, surpassingly odd, extremely funny and mysteriously endearing at the same time.

Most of Ghost World is funny, but the laughs are inextricably tied to the painful alienation and self-loathing that comes with living on society's fringes.

The modest yet redeeming triumph of Ghost World is the offhand way it brings to the screen a streak of American dark humor that is dour, resilient and unexpectedly infectious.

Has some grade A talent behind it, but it lacks any of the heart or emotion of the coming of age brand the film aspires toward...

It isn't a perfect film, but it's never less than strikingly original.

...satisfying in ways that more than compensate for the film's soft ending.

By sharp turns poignant, disturbing and hysterically funny.
