I'm in tears. One of the most moving and powerful movies I've ever seen. Many people don't understand this film because of the slow pace. But the patience watchers will be rewarded with a touching story.

Poetic. We're all a little meaningless. Life is waiting and then we die.

I have been wanting to watch A Ghost Story for the past month, so when my local theater started showing it a week ago as part of its Indie lineup, I couldn't wait. And I get why it has a 91% on RottenTomatoes and lots of positive reviews and all that but... man, is it a boring movie. I get that it is a well-made with great editing, direction and some amazing long single-shot scenes. I get the poetic message that it is trying to send, and it does a good job with that. However, I just can't get over the fact that the entire movie is incredibly boring. I honestly could not wait for this movie to finish (which is tough to do with a movie that is less than 90 minutes long). Imo don't watch this in theaters. Wait for it to come out on home video. At least you can fast-forward at home...

This could have been a short film. 45 minutes would be enough to send the message. I can understand indie, no mainstream and whatever you want, but this can only be remembered as a boring movie that you will never ever watch again. I really like the idea, but after 10 or more shots with totally no movements it becomes so repetitive that the initial effect get lost in thoughts like "oh my god another one" or "how long was the last one? 10? 15 minutes?". Personal advice is to watch until you get bored, jump at around 60 min, try not to kill yourself and watch other 2-3 shots, finally jump to the last 5 minutes.

Goodness me, this film is the most polarising film I think I have ever seen. There appears to be one group of people who unresolvedly hate the film and another who absolutely love it but nothing in between.

I can see why people would walk-out in cinema showings and hate the movie with a passion. More

_A Ghost Story_ is one of the saddest movies I think I have ever watched. I did not have many expectations headed into this film, but I think that was for the better. The entire film makes you feels so isolated and alone. Someone a man in bedsheet in order to draw such strong emotions out of the aud More

If a movie is boring on purpose, is it still boring?
Well, as it turns out: Yes.
But props for trying something different.

_Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._

**A love story from another dimension!**

I did not think what the title says was literal. I assumed some person with social-shy, wore a white cloth like a mask to confront it. Totally surprised by what I saw. Frankly, I did not like at the first. It was a boring start. I could not overcome that p More
