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.

besherat Here's the second time I watched the " Tree of Life" and one thing I don't understand. How can someone take such a different approach to the film when it watched it at different times of life? It didn't leave a good impression on me the first time when I watched it. How did I make such a big mistake? This film shows the deepest abyss of the human soul, and especially well depicts one state of the soul, which we called mourning. Happy are the one who has not experienced the loss of a close person, and who can not understand all the horror which this film shows, and those will say, a boring movie. These are lucky ones. Others, however, when hearing the sounds of "Requiem" by Hector Berlioz, will remain deeply affected by the truth that this film is nothing but a gloomy walk through the hell of a soul that experienced death. All those volcanoes, sea depths, unreal images of the universe, only reflect one atmosphere, the atmosphere of deep despair, hopelessness and loneliness. And then suddenly the voice of the mother who says ... my son. In the film,there is a lot of intertwine frames that show the family life with the outside world , the world of secrets, after death's life , about the God whom we constantly ask a questions, and we remain without answers, about a deep pain. Music has magnificently evoked the fear, sadness and loneliness that are the backbone of this film. In short, this movie completely ruined me. This is the first movie to whom I give a 10 points on IMDB site.

lucas-dylan This philosophical movie blew me away. Lubezkis camera makes me feel like I'm within in the movie and gives it a deep impression - almost like 3D but better - the actors are fantastic and the unusual way of telling a story shows that there is a lot of ways to make movies. That was very refreshing. The movie takes time to make it's plot live although there no real plot which is paradox. But it works. If you like intellectual movies you will definitly like it cause there will be a lot of questions to ask. It's like a movie revolution. Don't watch it with no clue people!

merelyaninnuendo The Tree Of LifeThere hardly will be any other feature that celebrates nature, humanity and emotions through cinematography to this excellency that it literally needs no word. The Tree Of Life defines humanity and preaches the depth, innocence and darkness of it which ranges in wider regions on narrow perspectives all of it resulting into offering some of the best of 2 hours of your life and leaving you wiser. Terrence Malick whispers soul into each and every frame and executes his script from paper to screen like never before and raises the bar of execution, editing and specificity of it. Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain are amazing in it with supporting cast like Sean Penn but the real essence of the feature are the kids. The Tree Of Life has a thought provoking concept and more importantly its projection which along with the help of stellar performances, exhilarating background score and unusual script antes up a game for the drama genre.
