Resonating with vibrant memories and silent echoes of a shared life, the old house is somehow connected to "C", a sensitive composer who is hesitant of leaving it, while his loving wife "M", on the other hand, is keen on moving out, having an indecipherable but grim premonition of danger. Sadly, disaster soon strikes, and C's untethered spectre which detaches from the lifeless body, rises from the mortician's table, and in a swift decision, decides to linger in this dimension to faithfully follow the grieving M back to the old house. As silent as a shadow and as invisible as the air, C's unappeasable phantom observes M's denial and depression gradually turn to acceptance and even hope, as time unravels, moving forward through the decades. In this earth, man struggles to leave his legacy behind. Is this the way to immortality?

| The Young FolksDanielle SolzmanDavid Lowery's A Ghost Story is a unique movie-going experience that will haunt you long after the credits finish rolling. |
| Lagniappe (Mobile, AL)Asia FreyHang in there, and "A Ghost Story" has rewards. Maybe plan your own pie snack to get you through some of those dialogue-free slogs. |
| CinéfilozEmmanuel Báez... proposes new concepts from a more meditative and profound perspective, seeking to alter conventions to generate something more than a fright, something that lasts. [Full review in Spanish] |
| TheFrightFile.comDustin PutmanA cosmically connected masterpiece, deceptively simple in design yet awe-inspiring in its philosophical vastness. |
| The Public (Buffalo)M. FaustI'm going to simply say that I loved this movie, even if I don't quite know what it was about. |
| Consequence of SoundDominick Suzanne-MayerA Ghost Story is filmmaking that challenges and exhilarates, a potent reminder of how many new places film can still be taken even after a century of people working in the medium. |
| The Film StageJordan RaupThe psychological weight of our certain death and the fact that life will go on long after we are departed is difficult to visually convey, but A Ghost Story is one of the most poignant films to ever grapple with this existential question. |
| The VergeChris PlanteSome will say it’s pretentious, obtuse, and masturbatory, and they’d be able to find plenty of evidence. But there’s so much to love here, largely because the film is something of an inkblot. Concealed and mute, Affleck the ghost acts as a cypher on which to place one’s hopes, fears, and closely held suspicions about the meaning of life. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonEven when it's difficult to grasp exactly what it's trying to say in some of its more head-scratching segments, the film commands appreciation for its vision and audacity. You might not see ghosts the same way again. |
| Buffalo NewsJeff SimonA Ghost Story is a minor movie miracle. It does something utterly ridiculous and it not only gets away with it but it builds on it to make the movie one of the most conceptually audacious of the past few years. |
