Review of A Ghost Story (2017) by Brent_Marchant — 14 Jul 2017

It's the kind of movie that, if you're well-versed in philosophy and metaphysics, you'll probably love it, but, if not, you'll likely come away with a decidedly puzzled look. While it's certainly laudable that the director has aspired to make a picture that appeals to an intellectual and enlightened audience, the finished product could also be seen as an exercise in preaching to the choir.

Its depiction of various philosophical and spiritual themes is deftly handled through an atmospheric production design, minimalist dialogue and an ethereal soundtrack, though there are times when the patience of even the most tolerant fans can get tried (and when a fast forward remote would definitely come in handy).

Nice try, but not quite what it could be.
