My Mother was and is the most important part of my life. But, a year ago I fell in love with a girl. She loved me with all her heart. Then, she left me. My heart was broken, bleeding. I was blinded. Blinded from all the wonders of the world. I was losing touch with all the…

Eli HayesAug 30, 2012I'm convinced there's a Malick gene. Some have it and some don't. Some watch one of his films and are so moved they can barely speak and others watch the same film and can't believe they wasted all that time. This review is for those that have it or at least want to…

100 "Tell us a story from before we can remember." An impression of many lives, countless lives, vast, immeasurable lives but centralized around the duration of just one human being. So much of Malick's ingenuity stems from the fact that no other movie, before or…

LucyApr 10, 2024My friends and I have been doing a Malick screening series for the last few months, and finally got to THE TREE OF LIFE last night. We watched the 188-minute Extended Cut, available on the Criterion Blu-ray release. I do believe this is Malick's masterpiece; a singular…

JessiMay 12, 2020Minus half a star because there is no way Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain would make a baby as ugly as Sean Penn!

- delal is "meh" onThe Tree of Life
Ich fand, dass der Film nicht so abstrakt hätte sein müssen. Es ist zwar nicht schwer zu checken, was für Metaphern benutzt werden. Aber der Anfang des Films und das Ende waren sehr Random. Kam mir vor wie eine Sammlung von verschiedenen Shots, die dann „Deep“ wirken sollten.
Kareem likedThe Tree of LifeMalick has literally one of the best and most unique styles I've ever seen, idk what yall are on. The first act and the ending in this were one of the best shots in history, I think I would've loved it much more if the whole movie was just like that. The music and the way it-
Charlie lovedThe Tree of Lifethese words and images changed my life. I now see and hear the world in ways I never thought were possible. now when my mind starts to wander instead of staring at the floor, I look outside. I look at the birds, I look at the sun, I look at the trees, I look at the people

a masterful epic, amazing because it doesn’t feel epic; always intimate in scope with dedicated performances and camera work that remains purposeful and intent on the overall message. often beautiful and existential while avoiding pretension; must-watch for movie lovers
Jacob Hall lovedThe Tree of Lifeone of the most gorgeous looking movies ive ever seen. im not religious but the depiction of heaven at the end was beautiful. i would honestly watch a 10+ hour long film in this style about the history of the entire world.

Much of The Tree Of Life’s beauty is in its yearning and wonder. It’s an extraordinary grasping stretch – across space and time – to touch what will always be just out of our reach. It’s a captivating, unmissable experience.

With disarming sincerity and daunting formal sophistication The Tree of Life ponders some of the hardest and most persistent questions, the kind that leave adults speechless when children ask them.
