Review of A Ghost Story (2017) by Barbara M — 09 Mar 2018

Loved the long shots, how uncomfortable, awkward and self aware they made the viewer they were watching. Felt strangely brechtian by a different mechanism.

The long short with the pie made me want to take my hat off to the actress. I kept thinking "jesus, that's all a single shot. I hope that was one take.".

Also loved the movement of the performer in the sheet and the look of the curve whenever the head turned.

Creative story, uncomfortable to watch, emotionally awkward, and all about slow development. I had no way to predict the next shot - I loved it.
