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 
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 
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 
Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson This is a wholly original film that takes preparation, patience, absorption, and reflection that some, or even many, may not be ready for. Rated: 3/5 Oct 14, 2024 Full Review 
JD Duran InSession Film A Ghost Story is one of the most unique films I’ve ever seen. The gimmick of the bed sheet with the holes cut out for eyes could have come off as silly, but it never does thanks to the deft hands of David Lowery. Aug 8, 2024 Full Review 
Brendan Cassidy InSession Film For its sheer minimalistic approach, the film is a technical marvel in its own way. Rated: A+ Jul 1, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

She was eating that pie for so long I thought I was in a time warp! I know it’s “artsy” but it should really have been a comedy! Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Audience Member I tried to give it a fair chance but it’s just really not very good. It’s slow and boring. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Mike D An excellent movie that tells an interesting story. The score that goes along with this movie makes you feel the scenes so much deeper. The scenes that hang on just a bit to long add so much to the way the story is told making you feel the time difference the character experiences from life and how it changes into death. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Donnell B No, actually very slow. Pointless film. Normally enjoy unique different wide perspectives. But this didn’t work. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Audience Member Eh, not that interesting. Maybe would work better as a 40 minute short film. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
