criticism
The film received mixed to negative reviews and Rotten Tomatoes reached to the wonder worth an average of 41%. In the Internet Movie Database was to the wonder rated 6.0. At Metascore the film reached 58/100.
“The most poignant thing is Terrence Malick's intention. He clearly develops the story to convey the myriad of faceted feelings and their expression. "
"This film looks more like a parody of an art-house film than a work created by a director who is often referred to as the poet of cinema."
"More lyrical reflection than narrative cinema, the film uses flowing images, off-texts that poetically condense the thoughts of the protagonists, and music-sound collages, a multi-layered, contradicting view of human love in the tension between longing for eternity and transience."
