This is a work of pure genius, easily the best movie in the past 10-20 years. It is not an irregular thing to be emotionally moved within the first five minutes. Fair warning though, this movie is not about a specific plot or conflict, rather it is about life in a very open and generalized sense.

I saw what might have been the most unique movie since "Blue Velvet". At times I both hated it and loved it.

Imagine if someone tasked you to make a movie about life. Not life itself but the essence of life. Where would you possibly begin?

We nearly turned off the movie about 30 minute More

Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life is an attempt to inject some cosmic wonder into the most mundane American story.

In the 1950s, two parents bring up three boys in an American white middle-class, small-town existence. The mother (Jessica Chastain) radiates love and warmth, while the fathe More

**Visually grandiose and made with true technical and artistic mastery, it is a film with difficult and indigestible themes, which will scare the audience with its slowness and tiring atmosphere.**

There are films that are made for some audiences and not for most people, the general public. This More
