A Ghost Story (2017)
10/10
Profound and moving
27 December 2022
I was looking for something like this at Christmas, something that makes you think, that isnt full of vulgar base line humor. I found this amazing, each frame adds to the sense of time and space and loss and longing. Little needs to be said. Anyone who has lost a loved one will be sure to be touched by this.... but it's not really sad- there is a dark comedy about it, a sitcom for the immortal soul. I loved how the traditional tropes of ghost stories were turned on their heads, in a way that doesnt turn into the high comedy of Beetlejuice, nor into a messy scary horror. It's mildly creepy at first but one soon realizes this is from a completely new philosophical angle. It has real pathos and style, and I and whoever or whatever else calls my house home, found it relatable and adorable on many levels.
