Holy sheet.
Laura Parker-SaladinoSep 24, 201798 He looked out the window. She was all finished packing, except for a couple of personal things. He couldn't reach her. His touch flew into the wind. His embrace collapsed into the fabric of her clothes. But he never stopped watching. The pane of the window obscured…
SilentDawnJul 29, 2017Rooney Mara eats a pie for five minutes straight, Casey Affleck walks around covered in a bed sheet almost the entire time, and basically this is one of the best films of the year.

He thought he just had the piano tuned. It was actually a year ago. Time is strange that way.
Matt SingerDec 27, 2017It comes as no surprise that the party scene is the most controversial scene in the film. It is, after all, a moment in which an entire film's worth of quiet contemplation gives way to a flowery, pretentious monologue about nihilism. I can see how that would be jarring and…
Kevin YI decided to randomly give this thing a watch because Amazon Prime babyy and my god. A friend labeled it as one of the most beautiful films he's ever seen and I can't really put it better myself. It is incredibly smart, the score is completely hypnotizing, there is so much…

- Skrrt Burger lovedA Ghost Story
Slow moving and ethereal, I found it to be best described as visual poetry, pondering time, death, love and legacy. Despite the molasses like pacing, I was glued to the screen, and I’ve been unable to stop thinking about for months. Not for everyone, but perfect for me.
Superbad likedA Ghost StoryBeautifully shot movie but very slow with not much happening, even with this it kept me engaged throughout
Lady Rokujo likedA Ghost Story“I’m waiting for someone.” “Who?” “I don’t remember.” :((((( In between like and love for me.

A mellow, little dialogue, sappy movie. I enjoyed it.
Sugama likedA Ghost StoryReally enjoyed the way this story was portrayed on the screen & the usage of looping the story into itself was done in such a tasteful way but I will say I think only film buffs / eccentric lovers will enjoy this as the pacing can be slow but not boring tho theres little dialogue
Jimmy Cricket dislikedA Ghost StoryA pretentious meditation on place, life and death. It features a powerful message but has little to no dialogue. There should’ve been a better way to get the message across. Why did a studio fund this movie? Was it necessary to have a woman eat pie for four minutes to show grief?
- Addybake likedA Ghost Story
I remember when this was released and most said it was slow and boring. So even though it was A24, I placed it on the back burner. They weren’t wrong about slow but slow isn’t always a bad thing. 2 scenes keep me from really loving this but overall I very much enjoyed this. 7/10
BH_ Movies likedA Ghost StoryI feel sorry for the people who thought it was too slow because they missed out on a very good film. Sure, it's not quite an action movie but it has more to it than those people can probably see. But I also understand that it's a movie you need to be in the mood for...
Parker Nelson likedA Ghost StoryBeautiful movie and the monologue on the pointlessness / beauty of life was amazing. I loved the cinematography and how they depicted ghosts. Honestly highly recommend but fully aware that this is very much an acquired taste.

David Lowery's A Ghost Story is a different sort of haunting, a quiet reverie of never letting go of people, places, anything. Some viewers may think it silly, others profound, but there's no other movie quite like it.

Lowery can't always keep the movie from drifting through the mists of pretension, and the tremulous, too-precious score, by Daniel Hart, is sometimes intrusive. Still, the picture's visual imagery--the cinematographer is Andrew Droz Palermo--is so restlessly poetic that it's hard to turn away.

A Ghost Story is suspenseful, dourly funny and at times piercingly emotional.
