In summation, 'A Ghost Story' is a poetic and almost meditative anecdote about existentialism that wilfully facilitates relevant discussions on what our life is and what value it exactly holds.
While being profoundly philosophical and introspective with its notion, the execution for the majority comes off as dull and tiresome, and that's because there's not much transpiring. Each one of the frames, though looks gorgeous, carries little to no significance. They look empty, devoid of tangible conflicts or palpable emotions.
Don't get me wrong; I'm not against slow burners or prolonged camera movements, or any elaborated sequences, but everything has to have some implication, some ambition. To me, it felt like most of the scenes here (except for a handful) were there just for the sake of it, without serving a greater purpose.
