Terrence Malick is back. Back from the present. Back from the twirling. Back from his battle with the boundlessness of digital technology, a neutral force that nevertheless has the power to seduce certain filmmakers away from their convictions. Malick has always been the…
davidehrlichSep 9, 2019Such an ambitious and emotionally gripping experience. I’m just exhausted. The man could not be more self-indulgent (to a point where it’s honestly just obnoxious) but Malick sure knows how to make a movie.
KarstenMay 10, 2024My friends and I concluded our 7-film Terrence Malick screening series last night with A HIDDEN LIFE, which was a perfect way to close the curtain on this little journey. A thoughtful, deeply felt chronicle of Franz Jägerstätter, an Austrian farmer who refused to fight…

Patrick WillemsJan 18, 2020The legend goes that, after watching Silence, Terrence Malick wrote a letter to Martin Scorsese asking “What does Christ require of us?” As a question prompted by the film, it was a good one, well-merited and existentially urgent. What does Christ require of us? Must we…

I don’t think I’ve ever watched a film that’s made me such an emotional wreck as this one. Watched it with my wife this time and we were both a mess by the end. This is such a powerful story of conviction, and sacrifice, brought to life so beautifully by Malick’s…
Thomas FlightJan 4, 2025A breathtaking piece of cinema. Terrence Malick, I was not familiar with your game I apologize.
martyFeb 16, 2024Without a question, one of the most outrageously striking films I have ever seen. The long, stunning rural landscapes make the perfect backdrop for a film like this. The cinematography feels so personal, complimented by the most astounding score, maybe one of the best I've…

A Hidden Life is both inspiring and heartbreaking, and the result is Terrence Malick’s best film in nearly a decade.

It’s one of the year’s best and most distinctive movies, though sure to be divisive, even alienating for some viewers, in the manner of nearly all Malick’s films to one degree or another.

Malick does succeed, to some degree, on his own terms; he attempts to give some (stylised) sense of this man’s inner life: his emotional and spiritual architecture. It is admirably serious but static.
