Above The Shadows
This is a supernatural romance story about a woman so ignored that she becomes invisible to the world. Holly was the meek & mild middle child who at the age of 12 when her mother died, she started to fade away & not be seen anymore. She grows up learning how to adapt in a world where she is unnoticed. She earns a living as a tabloid photographer. Suddenly one day, a club bouncer/disgraced former MMA fighter, Shayne Blackwell, can see & hear her. This is an odd story where you have to suspend your belief on how this can be, in order to enjoy the movie. If you like romance stories & MMA fighting you may enjoy this Rocky-ish ghost-like romance tale. Olivia Thirlby & Alan Ritchson are main characters. Jim Gaffigan plays the dad. Megan Fox has a bit part doing little more than just looking pretty.
Alien gives it 2 “shadow girl” stars out of 4.
