Do not spend your entertainment dollar here. Insufferable, self-indulgent crap. Recommend to someone you don't like but be prepared, you will here about it. Rented with several persons. Unanimous decision to turn it off and make another purchase after 15 minutes. I watched the next day out of curiosity to see if we were missing something. Nope. Just more of the same.
90 minutes watching a ghost (literally a person with a sheet over his head) watch the mundane day to day life of the occupants of a particular area. Yawn. Almost no dialogue. No interaction. Nothing. Yes, very sad, man dies, wife misses man. Ghost of man doesn't move on. Interesting for 5 minutes. How did this movie make it into release?
And the positive reviews from actual critics!?! Should put questions in your minds when regarding their motives in making their reviews.
But don't take my word for it. Have a party. Start the film. Let the wise cracks and laughter commence.

This film will split viewers, some people will like it and some will Hate it. I have fallen in the middle. The scene at that start with the pie drove me crazy, simply no need for it to be that long. This film is extremely slow with very little dialogue. The story is pretty good and you do feel the pain of the couple involved. Overall it's far from perfect but it is worth watching.

One 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.

Stately tone poem that will live with me for a long time. Comforting and disturbing at the same time.
Truly a one off.
Not for everyone that's for sure, but if you have a heart you've a good chance of finding something worth experiencing here.
