Like the beats it sits on the still morning before panning right to follow the racing witness to the car crash. I've rarely felt so in tune recently with a director' sense of pace and focus -- definitely not since 20TH CENTURY WOMEN.

The reverie is more powerful because it pivots off of the Mara-Affleck story, however underbaked that story was as a stand-alone. Otherwise, it would be an avant-garde film unanchored to a narrative. That may well be great, but it probably wouldn't have been financed or distributed.

Tbh, some of Lowery's showy moves didn't work for me (including the lauded pie-eating scene) and was meh on the ghost concept, but it was phenomenal as a elastic time reverie on place--a kind of <i>Tree of Life</i> depicting that plot of land where your house sits.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078377790942736019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-42227526803956850702018-02-14T15:19:28.800-05:002018-02-14T15:19:28.800-05:00There was some late-breaking Ghost Story love from...There was some late-breaking <i>Ghost Story</i> love from folks who didn't see it until it hit Blu-ray/Amazon Prime. Also true of <i>Personal Shopper</i>, at least in the sense that McCloud watched it the day of the deadline and then 30-bombed it into 5th place.
