A Ghost Story- My Review * No Spoilers*
Disclosure: I received a copy of A Ghost Story in order to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own.
My review of A Ghost Story
After watching Manchester by the Sea I was very excited to see this movie with Casey Affleck in it. Although the last movie was a bit different I was able to enjoy the story. With A Ghost Story, I just can’t even.
Normally my husband and I have a 20-30 minute rule which is if at that time we can’t get into the movie we have the option to stop watching it. Since this was a review he felt we should watch it until the end. First of all the ‘ghost’ with the eye cut-outs seemed so odd.
We couldn’t hear the conversations at first and I am not sure if it was because of the Blu-ray itself or how they wanted it to be. I don’t want to give the story away but honestly for the longest time there was no real conversation. I kept thinking that the ghost really had an easy part as he just stood there.
Normally I do not like to give a negative review but this one I give not one thumb up. If you can get it from a friend or win a copy then, by all means, try it out. Possibly you will find something that I missed but, when it was over I was relieved and yet looked at my husband and said hmmm….
As it says below ” a beautifully intimate romance”…. I think either I got the wrong movie or I just missed the whole romance part of it. But I will say I did enjoy the music.
If you decide to watch it let me know what you think…. I would love to know what exactly I missed because I was really hoping I would love this movie.
