A Ghost Story

It exists in an eerie cinematic in-between, and is completely unlike anything else you’ll see this year.

A Ghost Story is filmmaking that challenges and exhilarates, a potent reminder of how many new places film can still be taken even after a century of people working in the medium.

Lowery manages to find entertainment value and genuine intrigue from his outlandish scenario, synthesizing the magical realism of his earlier films with a tighter grasp of tone.

It's an offbeat narrative, and it demands patience, but it's so worth the wait in the final moments of the film, proving to be a graceful examination of love found and lost.

While Lowery’s actual method of delivery may not be scary, it’s sure to haunt those who open themselves up to the experience.

Maddeningly, A Ghost Story can seem more like a creative exercise than a fully formed narrative construct.

An empty exercise in imitative long-take aestheticism, A Ghost Story fills its distractingly round-cornered frame with endless repetitions on a visual gag.

A real masterpiece! I've never experienced such emotions for so long. This movie deserves so much more

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

I like the idea and concept of this movie much more than the movie itself. What I dislike more than some scenes being way too long (pie scene hehe) is the scene where this guy explains the whole philosophy and idea of the movie instead of having audiences take something personal away from it. It just seems so out of place from the rest of the movie. Speaking of audiences, the general movie goes will hate this movie and I can see people feeling scammed if they spent money seeing it. I just feel like it'd be better of as a short movie. A movie that handles death and the fear of being forgotten better in 2017 is Coco.

Incredibly boring (and I like slow burns). I think the A24 logo is fooling people into thinking this movie is good. Tons of very long and nearly static shots that don't really serve the movie or say anything (metaphorically and literally). The entire movie being in a 4:3 aspect ratio does give it a nice vibe though. Would have been excellent as a ~30 min short film.

Its beyond boring. If you want to convey a message or meaning, you have to present it in an at least digestable form. Watching paint dry for minutes is **** They wanted me to feel trapped in time and hopeless I guess, but I just got annoyed and bored...
