Jelisije J @jjosifovic Jul 20 Look I love Terrence Malick as a director, but this film plot can be summed up in 30 minutes or less and while the visuals were beautiful their is not enough to call this film an actual film. See more Nicholas F @Nicholas619 Apr 23 This wasn't meant to be a Hollywood blockbuster or a romantic comedy ... it was meant to be a work of art. It is exactly that ... a fantastic work of art. I realize the American brain has been trained not to handle dialougue over 140 charactets or more than 10 seconds of scenes without something explosive or exciting happening, but that doesn't change the objective fact that this is a stunning work and should easily impress anyone with an attention span of more than 10 - 30 seconds. There wasn't a single bad scene or a single bad performance from any of the actors/actresses. 5 stars all the way. See more John S. @andypanda2019 Apr 10 Malick’s work predominates with visuals. They are often quite powerful, perhaps as a documentarian. Malick has a style (and it is a good one) that has informed him many years. The problem is that he often seems the only one who understands what he is saying. His visual style often cannot convey the plot and intricacies of his characters. We have seen perhaps nearly every one of his visual devices. His best hope is that we somehow discern the shadow side of his mind. They seem so much like those defunct subliminal messages from bygone days where something like a fleeting product placement — a few film frames of Coke — quickly passes sight unseen, absent a subsequent visit to the concession stand. All we have left is a seemingly cliched visual vocabulary, repeating word forms and grammar, unintelligible semiotics lacking a requisite decoder.

See more Fred B @fredinMA Jan 24 For the most part beautifully filmed and edited. The Tarot overlay is interesting but ultimately nothing held the visual stream together enough to keep my interest. I fast forwarded to the last few scenes and got the impression that Malick had totally lost interest in the project by the end. See more Scott E @RT19581245 Oct 19 It created a strong feeling.
