Ghosting Gloria (2022)

Ghosting Gloria is special because it treats a boldly cheeky premise with real tenderness, turning a supernatural fling into a surprisingly warm, sex-positive story about finally listening to your own body and desires. It has the buoyant, self-aware vibe of a romantic comedy that knows exactly how ridiculous its setup is—and uses that freedom to be joyful, sincere, and genuinely sweet instead of cynical. Stefania Tortorella makes Gloria’s longing and awkward hopefulness feel human, so the fantasy elements play like a playful extension of her emotional reality rather than a gimmick. If you’re game for frank sexual humor and an unconventional love story with a soft heart beating underneath, this one is a paranormal delight; if explicit talk about sex isn’t your thing, it may not be your ideal haunt.

Ghosting Gloria is clearly trying to mash up sex-positive self-discovery with a rom-com fantasy hook, using a literal ghost lover to push its heroine toward confidence and release. The problem is it often feels overstuffed and loud about its intentions, piling on exaggerated rom-com beats without fully committing to sharp parody, so the energy can turn exhausting before it earns its payoff. If you like broad, heightened comedy and don’t mind a premise that leans more on gimmick and momentum than nuance, you may have a good time. If you’re hoping for a tighter script, subtler humor, or a fantasy element that deepens the emotional stakes instead of just fueling chaos, this one may test your patience.
