OUR KIND OF GHOST STORY

posted: July 7, 2017

Thoughtful, Poignant—And No Jump Scares

Sure, it’s scary—it’s a ghost story, after all. But if early reviews are accurate, A Ghost Story deals with the serious themes of mortality and the passage of time. A thinking person’s supernatural tale, in other words—and just the sort of thing we like to read or watch. Plus, it stars 2017 Academy Award winner for Actor in a Leading Role Casey Affleck. . .

This is one we’re planning to see in a theater rather than on the living room flat-screen. . . .

BTW, would you like to know why ghost typically are depicted as being dressed in sheets?
