Some of the reviews I've read (and impressions on Gaf) make this sound like an amazing movie. (plus Casey da gawd)
but something a lot of people will hate and find pretentious too.

There was a lot of good buzz about this film when it premeired at Sundance.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
This has my attention though. Sounds like another entry in this recent wave of "smart horror."

Yeah i was gonna say, the initial reviews and impressions from screenings made very much sound like a drama, the usage of describing it as a horror is probably not accurate.
Either way this was on my must-see list, sounds like an interesting film, and also more importantly; Bedsheet ghosts! I have a affinity for those type of spooky spooks, I can't explain why, they're just great.
The goat was Alan Rickman in Truly Madly Deeply. Cry if u like dis every tiem

We already had The Others though
I don't know.
My guess is that the teaser is indicative of the film's native aspect ratio, as A24 usually don't alter the look of their releases for trailers.

Weird isn't it?

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I feel like the title should be "Rooney Mara; Casey Affleck under a bedsheet" as opposed to the way it is, which makes it sound like Casey is under both the sheet and Rooney Mara.

Supernatural drama? The best sort of ghost story
Making ‘A Ghost Story': How David Lowery Exorcised His Demons To Make The Best Film Of Sundance 2017
The germ of the film came from David Lowery and his spouse, Augustine Frizzell, arguing about leaving their home in Texas to move to Los Angeles.
David Lowery shot the film during the summer of 2016, between post-production wrap on Peter's Dragon and pre-production start on Old Man and the Gun.
The film was entirely financed by David Lowery and a couple other filmmakers. Mara and Affleck weren't sure it was going to be a feature. Lowery considered it an experiment and didn't tell anyone outside of the cast and crew about it.
It's a story about time and inspired by writers such as Virginia Woolf, as well Lowery's own rumination about the concept.
Lowery likens the relationship he has with his work with the core of A Ghost Story in that films aren't finished but abandoned. There will always be things that could be improved upon but with time comes peace with those things.
That's actually Casey Affleck in the ghost costume. They didn't use a double.
