Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
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.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
cricketbat The Tree of Life is everything you fear an art film will be. It's slow and disorienting, yet beautiful and thought-provoking. This film goes from being utterly confusing, to deeply moving and back again in a matter of minutes. The sublime, non-linear narrative evokes memories and feelings in a unique and awe-inspiring way. I'm glad I saw it, but I don't think I'll be watching it again.
mariahopkins-18946 This is Terence Mallick's magnus opus in my opinion- and yes, I am aware of the fact that this is Malick I speak of, a man who has made some masterpieces. Tree of Life encompasses everything- from the search of purpose and meaning to the beginning and end of time itself. Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, Jessica Chastain and the kids all are more than competent and would have jumped at the chance of working with a master. Beautifully shot as only Malick can(the camera flows so smoothly) and containing what I consider one of the most important sequences(beginning of time) ever put on film The Tree of Life is a work of art.
adonis98-743-186503 The story of a family in Waco, Texas in 1956. The eldest son witnesses the loss of innocence and struggles with his parents' conflicting teachings. The problem with Terrence Malick for me is definitely the way he films his movies, way too many shaky cam and alot and i mean alot of shots too close to the actors faces that make it impossible to understand what the heck is really going on. The perfomances weren't anything special either and the actors just seemed way too sad for no reason for to actually explain it properly. Don't waste your time. (0/10)
L_Copa Scenario, Directing, Acting, Plot evolution, scenes, meaning, everything is crap. Nothing, nothing at all worths at least a minute of your life. The movie is a joke from the production to all of us. Pictures changing for no reason, big bang, seas , stars, sky.... I have no words to describe this awful thing i just saw... All these famous actors and actresses and the movie barely made its budget... I wonder why.. Please don't support this movies and rate them good... It's an offense to our intelligence.
