      Ben Sachs Chicago Reader The unconventional narrative structure seems more beguiling the more you think about it - this is a film designed to expand in your memory. Mar 26, 2020 Full Review Kristen Lopez Culturess Slow and baffling at times, A Ghost Story follows you, not unlike the undead spirit within its frame. Nov 20, 2017 Full Review Chris Barton Los Angeles Times The film stubbornly refuses to connect with its deeper themes because of a vague, self-consciously arty structure and a pace so deliberate it approaches a stand-still. Oct 21, 2017 Full Review Andreea Patru Vague Visages Ultimately, A Ghost Story fails because it's too enamored with the gimmick of its be-sheeted ghost. Dec 6, 2023 Full Review Paul Kanieski KSQD Community Radio A Ghost Story is unlike any ghost story you’ve ever seen. The pacing is measured, almost dreamlike, and within its mesmerizing one-and-a-half hour runtime there are at least half a dozen surprises you won’t see coming. Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Joe Friar Fort Worth Report On this date six years ago David Lowery’s ‘supernatural love story starring Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara opened in theatres. It remains one of the saddest and most beautiful films I’ve ever seen Rated: 4/4 Jul 8, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

      Megan B I liked the meditation on love and life Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/24 Full Review Jose Raul B Plot is kind of empty in this movie and scenes are very long and tiring, but the ghost concept communicates a sad and original suspense. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/12/24 Full Review Larry K Legitimately one of the worst movies I've ever seen Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/24 Full Review Jason B A beautiful, meditative film about love, loss, and the fleeting nature of life If you're unable to watch something that takes effort and consideration to process; if you're looking for jump scares, action, or a straightforward narrative that doesn't challenge you to think and contemplate, you'll probably hate this and immediately jump online to post some inane "review" you have no business making. While it may not be for everyone, A Ghost Story deserves more than "this movie was dumb". No on cares if you're unwilling to say something meaningful and, frankly, you shouldn't be posting reviews because you don't know how to critique a film. Sorry, not sorry. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Steven M Existential bliss. A film so carefully designed to expand in your memory. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Jarrah I Five whole minutes of eating a pie! I couldn't stand it any longer. I turned it off after about 30 mins. Far too slow. Felt like a pretentious art students first project. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
