Megan B I liked the meditation on love and life Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/24 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 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Derick S Wow. What a boring, lazy movie. Scenes that have nothing of value and drag on... and on... and on. It's so painfully slow and uneventful that it pulls you out of any immersion that was created as you stare in disbelief wondering when the scene will end. The story itself is empty with no resolution. This movie insults and disrespectsthe audience by wasting their time. Don't watch to see how it ends. His sheet falls to the floor ending his miserable pathetic existence. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Audience Member Fast forward to pie p*rn and then bail. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Chuck L Boring! Lousy special effects and what's with the 1950s screen format? Boring scenes that never stop. Boring! Boring! Boring! Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Michelle L Ridiculously long drawn out of it were a short film 20 /30 min. Maybe ok. Huge waste of time at least I could fast forward maybe gets better. Nope Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

A Ghost Story | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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 A Ghost Story | Rotten Tomatoes (2) 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 A Ghost Story | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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 A Ghost Story | Rotten Tomatoes (4) 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 A Ghost Story | Rotten Tomatoes (5) 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 A Ghost Story | Rotten Tomatoes (6) 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
