In this low-budget comedy-drama developed from the director's earlier short film. a teen drama-loving girl with OCD, Bee, moves in with her father and his new partner, only to discover a hunky ghost in her en-suite shower who cannot pass over fully and only she can see, and as the story unfolds their bond grows.
Emily Keefe is efficiently distancing in the lead role, and Beau Minniear gives a nicely-rounded performance as the troubled spirit. A full-blown musical flashback sequence might be a step too far for most viewers, and the kooky rom-com elements sit a little uncomfortably alongside themes of suicide, cancer and abuse. As ever, the high-schoolers look a lot older than they should, and in many ways this is a standard teen movie that indulges its supernatural romance and high-school theatre group tropes but with the occasional very sincere moment punching through.
