Watch A Ghost Story For Free

Just perfect...

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Blistering performances.

This film will split viewers, some people will like it and some will Hate it. I have fallen in the middle. The scene at that start with the pie drove me crazy, simply no need for it to be that long. This film is extremely slow with very little dialogue. The story is pretty good and you do feel the pain of the couple involved. Overall it's far from perfect but it is worth watching.

I found this movie on Netflix, thinking, 'ooooh, good, a recent movie out about ghosts, something I have a keen interest in. But GOD, it's slow to start, almost every scene there's either no dialogue at all, or very little-there is very little action to keep your interest. I was hoping for a modern day 'Ghost' (Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore) movie with a main character who suddenly dies fairly young, and how the woman he leaves behind deals with her grief, while eventually realizing that his spirit is still with her. Nope...this movie doesn't go into that kind of plot line. You will be struggling to continue watching, because it's one big dull bore! I found that the pie eating scene where it shows his widow stressfully eating a pie for 6-7 minutes ridiculously long. The sequence of scenes like this takes more than twice as long as a scene in normal movie scenes does. And once he 'rises from the dead' on the hospital gurney and after his widow leaves, he continues to wear the death sheet that had covered him, all throughout the rest of the movie. It's rather reminiscent of when Charlie Brown goes out on Halloween night in a ghost sheet, complete with circles cut out for the eyes. Ridiculous! It even stands looking out the window, sees a ghost also draped in a white sheet also looking out through it's house's window nearby, and they 'communicate' via sub titles.Other scenes are rather strange and completely disconnected from the storyline. Like when he's STILL in the house, STILL wearing the bed sheet, while a bull dozer is crashing into his house, long vacant and in major disrepair after he made the previous owners, a Spanish family leave after he did the usual freaky ghost stuff- hurling their dishes and cups towards them while they're eating their dinner. Then a minute later, the house is gone and there's a giant highrise that's built there where the house was.A minute or two later, he appears to go back in time and it shows a country scene that dates back more than a 100 years, and we see a pioneer family dressed in Little House type clothing. He just sits around in the ghost sheet observing them until the scene where they're all lying around dead with arrows in them, obviously massacred by Indians. Rather disturbing. And then fast forward to him sitting on the floor in his empty house. Like, HUH??!I think I could have written a much better ghost movie than this giant bore. Don't bother renting it, buying the DVD, or watching it on Netflix.

One of the few movies I've seen in ages that actually inspired some thought. Made a good portrayal of the human spirit and it's search for attachment and relevance. Have to admit, I first watched it because the ghost was wearing a sheet and I assumed it would be ridiculous and I was on a cruise ship and the movie options were limited. Although I did openly mock many parts of the film, it did hit the high points of loss and longing. Anyone who has ever lost someone special will be able to appreciate the emotion of the ghost as it wants to connect, but simply cannot reach out across the void. Was expecting a 'Scooby Doo', but got a 'Ghost' with the ability to emote.

Beautifully shot and a heartbreaking story of love lost.
