Above all one of the most beautiful films ever made. Malick's purpose is not to tell a story of melodrama, but one of loss. His tone is elegiac. He evokes the loneliness and beauty of the limitless Texas prairie. [7 Dec. 1997]

The film has too much surface beauty not to earn it a recommendation, but Days of Heaven satisfies only on a sensory level.
