A musician (Casey Affleck) is killed in a car accident and, as a specter in a bedsheet with two eyeholes poked out, continues to haunt the house where he and his wife (Rooney Mara) lived through past, present, and future. David Lowery's A Ghost Story is pretentious, plotless, and self-satisfied filmmaking that tries to trick the audience into thinking that slow tracking shots and close-ups accompanied by sonorous chords equate to deep, meaningful art.
* out of ****
