A married crime novelist finds himself in a tough predicament when an eccentric mystic summons the spirit of his first wife during a séance.

Critics Consensus

An indifferent adaptation of classic source material, Blithe Spirit puts a star-studded cast through the motions without capturing the story's screwball spark.

3/5

There's more Madame Arcati, which can only be a bonus when Dench has the role. And there's a riff on the pros and cons of having a ghostwriter that I think is quite clever.

3/5

Leaving aside one's devotion to the previous versions of Blithe Spirit, this latest version is well cast, upbeat and a bit of a rainbow in a time marked so heavily by unwavering rain clouds.

Spirited performances and wonderful costume design stand little chance against script and direction that smother sparks beneath slapstick and treacle.

This is a loud, hysterical affair, not a droll one.

2.5/5

“Blithe Spirit” isn’t without its charms and their are some laugh-out-loud moments of sly dialogue and slapstick humor that really work. But there’s still the feeling that the movie misses an opportunity to be more.

3/5

A fairly lightweight story, meaning this lightweight adaptations flaws dont seem so obvious. Lovers of the 1945 David Lean version, however, wont find anything to dislodge that title from their affections.
