An exploration of man as a part of cruel nature, finds time for contemplation without being pretentious.

The most beautiful most poignant war film of the last 30 years? Definition of stacked cast. Nearly everyone here is or will be a star

wistful in a way only Malick does. Not his greatest film deserving of multiple re-watches. Also feels like an acting exercise by the cast?

Full of still moments that make it slow. Depicts the specific and various ways fear was experienced. Woody’s scene might never leave my 🧠

Malik's lyricism takes us closer to the horrors of war. The music is on point and the acting is great.
