Ghost in the Shell (2017) is staring with Scarlett Johansson, Takeshi Kitano, Michael Pitt, Pilou Asbæk, Chin Han, a compelling, flawed story of true crime and obsession - and its flaws are part of what make it so intriguing. the movie can be very difficult to watch; it's haunting and incredibly sad. But that's also what made it all the more moving, in the end, to see the survivors join together: bonding, smiling, and living their lives in the light.
What gives Cursed its edge is the source material, which subverts centuries of lore and oppressive systems.
