Good movie but grossly overrated

Absolutely Fantastic

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I feel as though this film was good up until Rooney Mara moved out. Seriously well shot, the cinematography was a pleasure to watch but when only the ghost remained, nothing of any worth really happened. Just a bunch of pointless time travelling and loose ends in which the viewer is supposed to make up some kind of "meaning".Critics say the film is centered around the certainty of death - I don't think a single person who watched this film would say the same. The film beautifully portrayed the helplessness of the ghost up until the ridiculous poltergeist antics which ruined the film's theme.Not worth watching. Nothing new story-wise. Just some pretentious non-horror drama.

At the end of the film, the ghost finally does retrieve his wife's note, and upon reading it, he is free of the time loop and immediately disappears. However, what's written down is never revealed to the audience. "We thought about whether or not we should show it, but it doesn't matter as much as just knowing that he got it," says Lowery. "Nothing written there would mean anything to the audience at that point, and it would just complicate that moment - you'd see something, process it, and then wonder what it means." - Now that is the official ending. Geeez, what a let down. I guess I thought ghosts (as depicted often in literature and now days in documentaries) haunted places due to tragedy and grief linked to the soul doing the haunting. In this we see a note being placed, a lover dying accidentally and another love leaving for a new life. We all know that often these events in life will pull us (often) into the thoughts of the past. So it goes without saying that the ghost should REALLY have been Mara (the wife).

Oh my god. This is boring Watching someone eat pie for ten minutes is terribly dull

8 stars, probably 4 more than I would have given it right after watching this. Slow burn in more ways than just the unfolding of the narrative. It took time for what I viewed to sink in. My instant gratification brain resisted right till the end. When is the big twist or reveal or anything like an explosion or sudden plot resolution. Nothing, at least nothing like I was accustomed to. A simple story of loss and the cyclical nature of life. What is important to us? It's to know the truest of thoughts of those we love and lose.
