Critic Consensus: With acerbic wit, Terry Zwigoff fashions Daniel Clowes' graphic novel into an intelligent, comedic trip through deadpan teen angst.

Critic Reviews for Ghost World
All Critics (155) | Top Critics (39) | Fresh (143) | Rotten (12) | DVD (20)
The greatest distinction of "Ghost World" is its singular spirit. Here's a dark, deadpan comedy about alienated kids that manages to be smart, surpassingly odd, extremely funny and mysteriously endearing at the same time.
See it for Birch's hostile stare and Johansson's devastating monotone.
Most of Ghost World is funny, but the laughs are inextricably tied to the painful alienation and self-loathing that comes with living on society's fringes.

By sharp turns poignant, disturbing and hysterically funny.

It isn't a perfect film, but it's never less than strikingly original.

Zwigoff pulls off something in Ghost World that seems a minor miracle -- he creates someone with a complex inner life.
Audience Reviews for Ghost World
A film worthy enough to have Steve Buscemi as a romantic lead! Didn't see THAT coming. Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson nail it as too nominally self-aware babes in an all but oblivious world, it shivers me timbers! See it.
Super Reviewer
Dull and listless despite the good cast.

Super Reviewer
Nothing comes close.

Ghost World Quotes
Enid: | You know what my number one fantasy used to be? |
Seymour: | What? |
Enid: | I used to think about one day, just not telling anyone, and going off to some random place. And I'd just... disappear, and they'd never see me again. |
Seymour: | People still hate each other. I guess they just know how to hide it better. |
Becky: | Some people are OK, but mostly I just feel like poisoning everybody. |
Enid: | Go die, asshole. |
