More from TIFF 2024: all the latest movie reviews from Toronto
Charles Pulliam-Moore
Dead Talents Society.
In an afterlife where ghosts have to work their asses off to survive by becoming urban legends, all Rookie (Gingle Wang) wants is to haunt her little corner of Taiwan in peace.
But when she starts to fade into nothingness due to being forgotten, she realizes it might be time to get her license and become a proper myth so terrifying that she’s sustained by mortals’ fear. Professional ghosting is a cutthroat industry, though — one Rookie isn’t cut out for.
Think Monsters, Inc. meets All About Eve — it sounds wild, but it absolutely works.
