A meditation on loss and longing unbounded by time, this one stayed with me long after it was over.

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.

I was expecting the story to zoom on to the end of time, instead it is much smaller in scope.

lowery has called it BEETLEJUICE or POLTERGEIST by way of apichatpong or tsai, and sure, the uncanny resonance of its central conceit brings e.g. BOONMEE to mind. his muse is still malick however, rerouting the language of the ghost genre toward an evocation of being in time, provoking heideggerian angst with a visualisation of the eternal recurrence. ultimately, the nihilism embodied by will oldham (in a deliberately obnoxious film's most deliberately obnoxious scene) is firmly dismissed.

It is easy to make a dull heavy-handed film about ambitious topics like love, loss, and passage of time. A ghost story though is refreshingly original and one of the rare films that can put you in a contemplative state.

On the one hand, it was extremely slow at points. But, on the other hand, the most interesting thing about the movie was the way it made you think about time itself, and I don't think it would have had the same effect without some of the tedious scenes. So credit for achievement in that regard, but just did not leave me with too much else.

The irreplaceability of a love lost. The unceasing passage of time. The fragility of existence. The fear of being forgotten. The fear of infinity and the vastness of the universe. Simple ideas whose depiction are executed powerfully with haunting imagery that ranks among the year's most potent and memorable. Melancholia and euphoria, hope and hopelessness. A briefer and more subdued 'Enter the Void,' I suppose. This one just made me really sad.

A Ghost Story is a deeply emotional and thought-provoking film.It has a very unique style that isn't for everyone.It has very long scenes of not all of things being said or done(especially one involving a pie)but if you can get past that then you can really understand the brilliance of this film.The story goes in a lot of different directions and always keeps you interested and makes ask questions.It's a deep and awe-inspiring ride that has you riveted until the the final jaw-dropping shot.
