Audience Sentiment
Walking into the light
Police dismiss the story
The film jumps dramatically from its lowest point during the dismissive police scenes to the revelation of Carl's betrayal, creating a major surge in audience engagement
Ghost maintains consistently strong audience sentiment throughout, with particular peaks during Whoopi Goldberg's scenes and the romantic supernatural moments. The film builds to an emotionally devastating finale that reviewers found transcendent, despite some slower investigative moments in the middle act.
