Der Ghostwriter

Aldrig vises for meget, aldrig overforklares og aldrig droppes det realistiske til fordel for den rene fiktion.

Smooth, calm, confident, it builds suspense instead of depending on shock and action.

The Ghost Writer hasn’t the complexity or breadth of such stunners as Chinatown or The Pianist, but it is nevertheless a solidly built little roundelay of intrigue with a veracity that seems torn from newspaper headlines.

...is a vital record of the times, both for its maker and the world from his window.

...Polanski has drawn out strong turns from McGregor and Brosnan (echoing rather than aping Blair) and an excellent one from Olivia Williams.
