Masterpiece pure art

Beautifully melancholic & hauntingly gorgeous.

Boring and very slow. If you like watching someone eat pie on the kitchen floor for 10 minutes then this movie is for you. Not a ghost story at all.

An emotional film about grief and feeling like the world is moving on without you. Such a well told story with very little dialogue, this film is not for everyone and you'll either get it or you won't BUT if you do, you're in for a eye opening/beautiful time.

I will now proceed to haunt David Lowery as revenge for all the tears this movie made me shed. I will be bringing pie.

It's a very long low pace movie that at first you might think that it's boring. But that's exactly what the film brings in to the discussion of the afterlife, it's meaning and "how it works?". It's been days since I've watched this movie and it doesn't get out of my mind. It gets me thinking : "Is this hell like?". A beautiful movie that goes much beyond than this little review, I will definitely watch it again but pay attention: It's a drama, a piece of art, not an horror movie. Or is it?

One of the most powerful & thought provoking movies of the new millennium. Yes, it's a very slow burn, minimal dialog & still has tons to say. Even 5 years after seeing this movie, it still haunts me. There isn't a week that goes by that I don't think about it. It was really refreshing to finally see a unique & highly original creative film that isn't your standard Hollywood, cookie cutter movie, remake or sequel. It's a must see for anyone looking to march to the beat of a different drum.

Very thought provoking and very SLOW. I found myself frustrated when there was action. Good gawd the pie scene was endless! As was the life after death party goers speech. However, its flaws couldn’t overshadow the pros. I give the movie kudos for getting us out of our soft, safe bubble. And forcing us to think about AFTERWARDS.

Oooof I just cannot with this movie. Almost zero dialogue and the main character still finds a way to make himself an interminable douche. Would have liked it better if they had ended it with Casey Affleck’s character dying in a car accident.

ghost in a sheet stands silently in a house for eternity

So boring and slow. Snoozefest

A mesmerizing paranormal drama that puts you in a hypnotic trance with its brilliant visual storytelling as you follow the lingering silent afterlife of the ghost of our main protagonist after he perishes away. He holds his house and wife dearly, and is emotionally unable to let them go, even after his wife leaves and moves on herself. The Charlie Brown blanket ghost looks silly at first, but quickly becomes tragic in its dehumanizing of the protagonist's draining emotions and dwindling presence & legacy in the present day, as he slowly becomes more forgotten to time. You understand how a "haunting" could happen, as decades of change and isolation prod him to lash out at a world that can't acknowledge his perpetuated existence. The party scene has a really thought-provoking monologuing about the inevitable mortality of human legacy, spacing it out to even the faintest of reoccurring ideas like basic tunes hummed out by our most distant descendants who may just be lucky enough to survive on an extraterrestrial colony eons after Earth's fate to be swallowed up by the sun. The movie might be too slow for some viewers (that pie scene with Rooney Mara is basically the litmus test for casual viewers), but i personally loved how real and drawn out the Afterlife felt. An empty, mysterious, and directionless sensation where you practically mourn your own life and legacy as you grow more powerless to interact with the world you're still granted access to walk across. The brevity of the world and how everything changes eventually, from pets, to people, to residences, to buildings, to landscapes, to the very planets and structures of the galaxy. It's a thought-provoking film, and an underrated gen of A24 in my book.

Recently, I decided to check out a horror film titled "A Ghost Story," which was part of the Erie series available on the Max network. The movie had been released in theaters in 2024, but it was only screened for a mere weekend before vanishing from the big screen. As I watched, it quickly became clear why it didn’t last long in theaters. The film was a complete disaster—dull, poorly directed, and the cinematography was so poorly executed that I often found myself zoning out, completely forgetting I was even watching a movie. The plot was nonsensical, and the characters seemed oblivious to the ghost in a sheet that was right in front of them. They would walk right past it or even sit down next to it without a hint of recognition, which made the whole experience even more frustrating. I felt like I had wasted an hour and 33 minutes of my life. I wouldn’t recommend this film to anyone; in fact, I strongly advise steering clear of it altogether. Originally released in 2017, the film was brought back for a Halloween re-release, likely in an attempt to cash in on the holiday. Although it managed to pull in $2 million on a $100,000 budget, it’s painfully obvious that the budget reflected the film’s poor quality. What amazes me is that Casey Affleck, an Oscar-winning actor, starred in this film. I can't help but wonder what led him to take on such a lackluster project—perhaps it was the aftermath of the scandals he faced that prompted him to seek out any work available.

No. Now come on. She was eating that pie for so long I thought I was in a time warp! I know it’s “artsy” but it should really have been a comedy!

I tried to give it a fair chance but it’s just really not very good. It’s slow and boring.

An excellent movie that tells an interesting story. The score that goes along with this movie makes you feel the scenes so much deeper. The scenes that hang on just a bit to long add so much to the way the story is told making you feel the time difference the character experiences from life and how it changes into death.

No, actually very slow. Pointless film. Normally enjoy unique different wide perspectives. But this didn’t work.

Eh, not that interesting. Maybe would work better as a 40 minute short film.

Super slow film that nearly put me to sleep.

On god, this is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen in my life. If you can sit through this and not think “what in the **** am I watching”, then bravo to you. Trying so hard to be artsy, but amounted to utter trash.
