  • Indie drama with 99% "Certified Fresh" Rotten Tomatoes score is worth checking out starting February 25

With a cast made up of mostly life-long character actors, Ghostlight wouldn't have caught most people's attention last year. But those who have seen it have done nothing but sing its praises, as evidenced by its 99% "Certified Fresh" score from critics and 92% positive rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. The story centers around a construction worker who decides to join his community theater and soon notices the on-stage drama beginning to mirror his own life.
