Finally got to see #AUsefulGhost, and want to shout from the rooftops about how great this movie.
Starts as an absurdist comedy about a man reconnecting with his dead wife whose spirit haunts a vacuum cleaner. But then it starts shifting gears in numerous other unexpected (and darker) directions.

I am so happy I got to see this movie and it is worth every bit of hype it gets. A wonderful, sad, funny, dark, weird, and emotionally powerful movie that really is one of the best movies of the year. #fantasticfest #filmsky #ausefulghost

O longa segue March, que - após a morte trágica de Nat, vítima de poluição por poeira - mergulha no luto. Mas seu cotidiano muda completamente quando ele descobre que o espírito de sua esposa reencarnou em um aspirador de pó.

#AUsefulGhost, Thailand's 2026 #Oscars submission, just jumped straight into my current Top 10 films of the year.
An absurdist dramedy that reels you in with talking vacuum cleaners and ridiculous family drama, before revealing layers of scathing social commentary.

#nziff Thai feature #AUsefulGhost is utterly brilliant. Stunningly shot with a rich and motivated colour palette, it’s an unabashedly queer reading of history, and call to preserve it. Long but worth it for Suman’s arc alone.
Freaking loved this crazy film. Just see it.

#AUsefulGhost takes a potentially gimmicky premise and turns it into a philosophical meditation on a love that not only defeats death and forgetting, but also leads to a reckoning.
