The film jumps from its lowest point during ghost world exposition to its breakthrough moment when Sam meets Oda Mae Brown.
Ghost maintains strong emotional resonance throughout, with particularly high praise for Whoopi Goldberg's performance and the film's romantic core. The ending sequence receives universal acclaim for its moving farewell, while some middle sections involving supernatural exposition receive more modest reception. Critics consistently highlight the film's successful blend of romance, comedy, and supernatural thriller elements.
