The kind of indie movie I should utterly hate, but this really works. It starts incredibly slowly, but this is intentional as the slow start juxtaposes with how the movie plays with time as it goes on. I watched this fully expecting to hate it for being the kind of indie movie I despise, but it turned out to be a very poignant exploration of loss.

Some call it slow, but I feel that it's pacing is meditative. The tone is ethereal and consistent, with moments of emotional spikes that are touching. A good example of visual storytelling, marred slightly by a sophomoric monologue that could have been done in a more subdued way, much like the rest of the film. Overall, it's a movie you follow along and let it guide you through time and experiences. I feel like my score will increase after another viewing, but it's a solid movie, nonetheless.

A total ape job of recent audio-visual trends in 'slow cinema' combined with loose genre elements and a vaguely Malicky attempt to link personal loss/grief with a bigger statement about time and mortality. When it focuses on the personal, it's a mildly effective, if obvious, mood piece that approximates an infantile quasi-hipster American take on this stylistic mode, but It falters when it strives for a deeper meaning, most embarassingly in a pessimistic monologue that recalls The Turin Horse.

Metaforlarla dolu bir film. Rooney Mara'nın eşi trafik kazasında ölür. Ve beyaz bir çarşafla dünyayı dolaşır. Tekrar başa döner ve kendini bırakır. Ağır ilerleyen ve uzun sahneleriyle fenalık geçiriyor. Bebeğim bebeğim hayalet sevgilim.

Short, and quite to the poignant point, the film raises large questions that it shies away from answering. Instead it chooses to highlight the hollowness of any human attempt to explain our mortal predicament.

A very unique film about death, time, and our place on the Earth. It's extremely long shots and deliberately snail-like pace let you take in everything and ponder on the questions it asks. I wish it had revealed more of the character until the final act but I understand this was done intentionally.

David Lowery’s ghost story does have it's moments, but I found it to be too tedious and the pace of the film way too slow. It just feels like it takes so long for anything to happen. The ideas of the script are highly original with themes of love, life and death. An experimental film into the supernatural. The cinematography by Andrew Droz Palermo is great with stunning camera work and eye popping visuals. 'A Ghost Story' is a haunting experience and a mundane meditation of life after death.

I love the tone of this film but if I was at that party with Will Oldham, I’d have excused myself to go find another conversation. Such an excruciatingly boring scene! The period stuff is a bit sloppy too (aesthetically as well as politically).

Can you film a cosmic poem about life, the universe & everything without being pretentious? Yes, just watch Le quattro volte or Uncle Boonmee e.g. This hipsterized attempt is trying so hard I can't really call it seamless or humble in a way that elevated those efforts. I can't really say it fails either. It has some beautiful haunting moments & works well as a refreshing antidote to a lot of American cinema. Just too forced & single-minded to be as deep or reflective as it seems to think it is.

i really don't like this type of hipster films. it's like saying: "look at this ghost wearing two-hole bed sheet throughout the film! how sad is his shattered destiny?" seriously what kind of travel (back in time) was that? actually i was kinda relaxed when i learned the inspirations of this film: under the skin, uncle boonmee who can recall his past lives and post tenebras lux. i'm sure now this "haunted house" indie format is not for me. i prefer indies like 'frank'.

Retains just enough ambiguity to remain a touching evocation of the ineffable and ephemeral nature of love. The way it slowly disposes of its protagonists until they're dwarfed by time and the universe is admirably bold. If it has a weakness, it's that goddamn Will Oldham scene; no need to state the film's central thesis through the mouth of an incredibly annoying character.

A few annoying aspects, and I'm no Rooney Mara fan (for some reason it really bugged me that I could immediately tell she'd never binge-eaten before) but it works as a whole piece and is often transcendentally beautiful.

The passing of time was shown great, and along with soundtrack is the best part of the movie, but in order to highlight that, the first 40 minutes or so were slowed to the torturous pace. The other problem is the story itself: although being touching beyond belief, it contrives to break its own foundation of love and decision by legitimizing not only cyclic but also predetermined cosmological model. Main theme means nothing, if you have no choice. It could have been so much better...

Intriguing and novel way to deal with its subject matter, and beautiful use of slow, painting-like shots that let the (little) music take center stage.
