Light from Light Ratings & Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
[Light From Light] knows that the most resonant movie isn't a creed, but a question.
Spectrum Culture
Pat Padua
It's as if Harrill took the very concept of horror and stripped that fear down to its essence: the dread and longing for meaning, for some sign of life after death.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
An unusual, almost meditative film that reverences the mysteries of death, grief, and loneliness.
Observer
Rex Reed
Nothing ever happens of any importance in Light From Light and nothing makes any sense, including the title.
AV Club
Vikram Murthi
Light From Light concerns ghost hunting, but Harrill characterizes the process in practical, mundane terms; it's the emotional implications of the endeavor that interest him.
The Filtered Lens
Matthew Dougherty
More of an All Saints' Day ghost story than a Halloween one, director Paul Harrill's Light From Light is as low key and quaint as supernatural stories get.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Defiantly avoiding clichés about hauntings and the supernatural, this sharply observed character study lingers after the lights go up.
National Catholic Register
Steven D. Greydanus
I'm tempted to call 'Light from Light' the first ghost story I've ever seen that I completely believe.
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
An uncommonly compelling work that, like an actual spirit, will linger with you long after it ends.
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
For a movie about grief, it's surprisingly even-handed, not too melancholic, heavy or existential but mostly pensive.
MovieJawn
Rosalie Kicks
Not your typical jump scare ghost story. Instead a quiet, slowly-paced character film that is worth a watch.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
While it starts as a more literal kind of ghost tale, the film evolves its outlook as we start to learn about these characters...
New York Times
Kristen Yoonsoo Kim
Sure, Sheila has some "ghosts," and her large eyes carry the weariness of her past, but don't worry about getting struck with that metaphor: Harrill is a far more skilled and subtle director than that.
Slant Magazine
Carson Lund
Only in focusing so thoroughly on the normal does Paul Harrill's film stumble upon the paranormal.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Plays out as a smart ghost story about a paranormal investigator's search for a possible afterlife that becomes personal to the investigator and her family.
The NitPic
Angela L. Harmon
'Light from Light' worked with a light and careful hand to craft a sense of existential ennui that's hard to do without becoming overbearing.

Robert Daniels
Paul Harrill's Light from Light is a quiet moving testament to grief, transition, and love.
TheWrap
Elizabeth Weitzman
A movie this modest requires patience and generosity and a rejection of expectations...But it is a gem likely to stay with anyone smart enough to seek it out.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
A quietly matter-of-fact drama that utilizes a "haunting" story hook for non-religious yet affirming ends.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
Modest in scale but rich in sensitivity, this is an unassuming film, made all the more transfixing by its defining delicacy and understatement.
