To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to compare the same operationalization of mentalization, namely RF, in mothers and their children by using

A deeply sentimental and meditative film
about the weight of grief and the
attachments we have to the homes we build, A Ghost Story overcomes its somewhat pretentious trappings (long, Malickian takes with whispered
narrative, shooting in Academy Ratio with rounded corners) and silly premise of watching Casey Affleck spend nearly the entire film with a sheet over his head and spins a metaphysical tale that transcends space and time.
