Best movie of this year hands down!
an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
View MoreA clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
I feel as though this film was good up until Rooney Mara moved out. Seriously well shot, the cinematography was a pleasure to watch but when only the ghost remained, nothing of any worth really happened. Just a bunch of pointless time travelling and loose ends in which the viewer is supposed to make up some kind of "meaning".Critics say the film is centered around the certainty of death - I don't think a single person who watched this film would say the same. The film beautifully portrayed the helplessness of the ghost up until the ridiculous poltergeist antics which ruined the film's theme.Not worth watching. Nothing new story-wise. Just some pretentious non-horror drama.
View MoreOne 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.
View MoreIf I could give this movie negative stars I would. I couldn't even get through 30 minutes before I turned it off. A complete snooze fest that borders on the insanity of the human mind. This is a classic case of movies that try too hard to be artsy. Trying to fulfill some deeper and more meaningful existence of blah blah blah we get it, you're an imaginative wizard. Don't waste your time with this nonsense. There is no plot, no dialogue, no characters driving the piece, it's just a straight up bore fest that only critics would love. There's nothing special here.
View More8 stars, probably 4 more than I would have given it right after watching this. Slow burn in more ways than just the unfolding of the narrative. It took time for what I viewed to sink in. My instant gratification brain resisted right till the end. When is the big twist or reveal or anything like an explosion or sudden plot resolution. Nothing, at least nothing like I was accustomed to. A simple story of loss and the cyclical nature of life. What is important to us? It's to know the truest of thoughts of those we love and lose.
