Don’t let the mediocre critic scores fool you, this is a cerebral masterpiece.
Cinematography and themes absolutely nailed. Moving, visually arresting, the kind of movie that makes you feel human.
Gorgeous shots, beautiful acting, confusing plot. A compilation of features I look for in a movie with lots to say.
Mesmerising almost like a dream with its visual storytelling. Purposely simmers giving time to digest/ reflect on a moving subject…existence
This movie is beautiful but super slow. My more philosophical friends liked it more as it contemplates faith, grief, and existence.
Watching this movie is a spiritual experience. Malick captures the nostalgia of childhood and the wonder of creation in the same movie
Beautiful cinematography. Story trying to convey something deep and meaningful about life.
Beautiful. Don’t try to make meaning in it, just let it draw you in and wash over... An uncomfortable favorite.
It's just...beautiful.. Mesmerizing, stunning visuals... Slow but moving... It's more of an experience rather than a story you just watch..
Artsy, but purposeful. 2001 A Space Odyssey fans will feel right at home.
