...that would probably be a pretty good movie! However, unless you want to watch a woman eat a whole pie till she vomits (in real time), or Casey Affleck lip-sync a pretentious pop-song, then, "A Ghost Story" is only...meh. I *did* like the bald-guy's philosophical diatribe. So good on him.
shareAfter seeing how the ghost was capable of manipulating physical objects when he threw that family's china all over the kitchen and smashed it, I kept hoping that he would suddenly hit the bald dude in the face with a big cream pie right at the end of his profound existential rant. This would also have built on the pie theme established earlier when we spent ten minutes watching his widow consume an entire pumpkin pie.
shareOutstanding insight. Yes, we definitely needed further exploration of the pie themes. Maybe that pioneer family could have also baked a pie. Then the father holds it up at the campfire while saying something to the effect of: "This pie represents our family and our future," before Affleck smushes the pie in his face. I think this pie should be apple or rhubarb.

I respectfully disagree. I found it to be sad, fascinating, and mesmerizing: 8.5/10.

Agreed. I love Rooney Mara and Casey Afleck but I hated it.
