Reviews

Variety - Justin Chang
Result is pure-grade art cinema destined primarily for the delectation of Malick partisans and adventurous arthouse-goers.

Time Out - Keith Uhlich
The Tree of Life enthralls right from the start.

Village Voice - Nick Pinkerton
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.
91
IndieWire - Eric Kohn
More meditation than movie, Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life is bound to mystify, awe and exasperate in equal measures.
90
Boxoffice Magazine - Wade Major
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.
