A bizarre and campily amusing "tribute" to the late dance legend starring drag queen Richard Move.

Real history and raunch poke through, but the thirtysomething Move is too vital to be Martha in her dotage. Amusing for insiders, Ghostlight may confuse everyone else.

Represents something new under the sun: sincere camp.

It's hard to imagine anyone who isn't familiar with Graham and her place in 20th-century dance history getting drawn into Move and Herrmann's hall of Martha mirrors, but for the right viewer it's a fascinating exercise in self-reflexive mythmaking.

When a 6-foot-tall man is playing your emotionally delicate heroine, a little subtlety goes a long way.

A less than satisfying cinematic experience.

Neither fish nor fowl, slick yet strangely rudderless Ghostlight sounds interesting in description but lacks fascination in actual viewing.
