A Ghost Story (2017)



Not a spooky supernatural story and not even told in a traditional fashion, A GHOST STORY comes with a melancholy tale of love & loss that's demand your patience as a viewer for its slow burn nature & art house approach. But still this is a beautiful film that profoundly captures the grief of a ghost & tries to explore some meaning & purpose even in the emptiness our existence into the cosmic nature of life & time through a simplistic, yet poetic visual narrative.

Give it a try if you are a serious viewer & like thought provoking films or won't mind to watch an art house sort of film for a change. If you can sit through that long take in the early stage of the film where Rooney Mara's character just eats a plate full of pie in deep grief & loneliness, then this will turn out a treat for you.

At times, it was funny, sweet and even watching like a better version of a Terrence Malick film with lot more senses and better execution. Overall, an offbeat but an emotionally impactful gem of a movie.
