Sexylocher Masterful Movie

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

vexyl Terence Malick is a genius. I still think The Thin Red Line is his best movie but Knight of Cups and Song to Song are very close. He is at best when he keeps the esotheric religious nonsense to a minimum and also lets loose of subtext and story. Whats left is an artistic description of human nature that is more accurate than any rational story could be. For me it is like a dance it makes you understand by feeling it ...no rigid story or understanding necessary and also in the end not the same meaning for everyone. Movies like this are not entertainment they are art and that is why Terence Malick will be still famous long after humanity doesn't care about Steven Spielberg etc...

Dave_douell I am so disappointed in Rooney Mara for participating in this monumental waste of talent. The only reason I made it to the end is just to watch Rooney Mara, one of the most unique and beautiful actresses today. I know that she is better than this, I've seen incredible acting from her in other films. I know none of this matters to most of you but I said my piece. Don't waste your time on this movie!

bandw Of the thousands of movies I have seen Malick's "The Tree of Life" is perhaps at the top of my list. It grabbed me and never let up. I have seen most of Malick's movies and beginning with "The Tree of Life" he developed a unique style that he has worked with in his succeeding movies, pushing it further with each. I liked "To the Wonder" and was still on board with "Knight of Cups," although neither was nowhere near the masterpiece that "Tree" was. But with "Song to Song" Malick has pushed the limits of his style beyond where I can appreciate it--I am hoping that this will be the last of this experimental film making in this vein.As usual, the images are captivating. It looks like Malick must drive around and, as soon as he sees something that interests him, he films it (with his consummate talent and taste) and then tries to merge all of the images into some narrative that makes some sense, mainly to him I'm afraid. The trademark closely miked audio, long takes of characters walking around each other, minimal dialog, beautiful people, and nature shots are in evidence. Music is essential to any Malick movie I have seen and it is puzzling why the music in this movie, that is played against the backdrop of the Austin music scene, did not engage me. Interspersed among the Austin scene are classical segments--Saint-Seans seems a favorite here. The supporting score is highly fragmented, which I suppose is in keeping with the fragmented nature of the story line, but just when I was appreciating a song there was a cut to an unrelated scene.There are many well known musicians in the cast, playing themselves, such as Iggy Pop, Lykke Li, Sara Quin, Chad Smith. Patti Smith does get some time, both as a character in the story and as a singer.If there is a coherent story, I missed it. I got the basic love triangle bit, but from there all was obscure. How Cate Blanchett figured into things was a total mystery to me. Was she there simply as a box office draw? The main character, played by Ryan Gosling, is given the name "RV" and I got that only from the closing credits. When I realized that I had entirely missed the boat on the characters was when I saw in the credits two actors listed as being BV's brother. Nowhere did I catch that BV had a brother.If I were to have turned off trying to make sense of this thing and just sat back an enjoyed the images, there would have been enough here to think this is worthwhile. But, unless you are plugged into Malick's recent vision, you might give this a miss.

bjarias ..this film is a prime example why you should never watch a movie any other way than streaming.. ..over your lifetime you'll save HUGE amounts of precious time.....at 129 minutes in length... if you jump every couple minutes or so... in 60 clicks you can pretty much view this entire thing.. ..and will not have missed very much in the process....loads of hi-end talent gone to waste in this muddled production.. with a script.. well there really isn't much of one... ...just loads of edited 'artistic' filming... can easily see why it took years to put together after shooting.... it will probably still make money.. as die-hard fans will be keen to roll the dice.. most will not be thrilled..
