Dir: David Lowery
Genre: Drama, Romance
Year: 2017

If you've seen A Ghost Story, it would not surprise you to realize that its director looks like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/97/David_Lowery_Deauville_2013.jpg

Let's just say that this was more of an arthouse feature than a lot of people including myself expected. And that's what makes it so amazing.

A Ghost Story seems like a simple premise from the trailers: Casey Affleck dies and "haunts" his girlfriend's house (in a bedsheet ghost costume that apparently was actually worn by Affleck the entire time [RESPECT!]) as she tries to move on with her life. I won't say much more beyond this, because part of its greatness is the unexpected course the rest of the movie takes--but I will say that it offers a profound meditation on time, the universe, and love. Just don't quit because of the pie scene. I beg you.
