Because you can’t see the ‘ghost’, fighting or fleeing will be an extreme challenge. Whannel steers clear of superfluous preachy messages. He instead sets a concert of amazing set pieces with lethal danger, ready to materialize from various sides. He did this even though hot-button topics naturally emerge. By not hitting the low hanging fruits of politics unnecessarily, the filmmaker focuses the movie’s cat-and-mouse game better. With Moss in the spotlight as a tormented woman both physically and psychologically, she fights back the misogynistic victimization masterfully.
