"The Keeping Hours"

Don't let the "thriller" description fool you, this movie is anything but. It opens at the wedding of a couple with their young son. It then  jumps several years ahead, after their child has been killed in a car crash and they've divorced. When the dad returns to their old home to clean it up to sell, he discovers the ghost of his son living in there. He eventually invites his ex-wife to join them and the three of them carry on as if nothing has happened. I kept waiting for something totally creepy to happen, but it never did. The trailer makes the movie out to be a lot scarier than it really is. I found it to be just a nicely paced, lyrical film.
3.5 out of 5 stars
