A Ghost Story is a quiet, mournful, somber meditation on love, loss and legacy. It's a sublime experience. This largely dialogue free movie follows C (Affleck) as a recently deceased man who tries to connect with his wife, M (Mara) after his tragic death. His ghost form is the traditional ghost outfit of a white sheet and two eyeholes but instead of mining this outfit and scenario for humour and wacky hijinx, David Lowery delivers a timeless masterpiece of a film that is more akin to a tone poem that what one might expect.
