Reviews

Variety -
Result is pure-grade art cinema destined primarily for the delectation of Malick partisans and adventurous arthouse-goers.
|
|
Time Out -
The Tree of Life enthralls right from the start.
|
|
Village Voice -
Better than a masterpiece - whatever that is - The Tree of Life is an eruption of a movie, something to live with, think, and talk about afterward.
|
|
IndieWire -
More meditation than movie, Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life is bound to mystify, awe and exasperate in equal measures.
|
|
Boxoffice Magazine -
Aggressively impressionistic and unapologetically spiritual, Malick's long-gestating meditation on the meaning of life is, if nothing else, a singularly original and deeply personal film - a growing rarity in American cinema.
