The Tree of Life

"Grade A yawn fest sprinkled with Brad Pitt bullying his children much like I imagine he does in real life, plus some religious mumbo jumbo. "

"The visuals and cinematography is amazing in this movie, in the first half the visuals delivered. When the second half started I got less interested, didn't like the story that much I think I dunno what was going on. But was a nice watch, more of a movie for the Art crowd."

"The most introspective movie I’ve ever seen. In that, is it a huge success. The movie makes you feel so many different emotions. And in such a personal way. It’s art and meditation. The movies about the human experience. Specifically childhood. But also why and how we’re here. Cinematography was spectacular. A beautiful film. I just wish there was some conclusion. The Sean Penn character fell flat and needed resolution. Overall it’s an extremely unique film, that has my respect. 70/100 "

"Loved it!! "

"Watch it for the production value and artistry. "

"Beautifully shot film. Something to watch on mute, unless you're a fan of Malick."

"https://www.rogerebert.com/roger-ebert/a-prayer-beneath-the-tree-of-life Many films diminish us. They cheapen us, masturbate our senses, hammer us with shabby thrills, diminish the value of life. Some few films evoke the wonderment of life's experience, and those I consider a form of prayer. Not prayer "to" anyone or anything, but prayer "about" everyone and everything. I believe prayer that makes requests is pointless. What will be, will be. But I value the kind of prayer when you stand at the edge of the...."

"Wow. This is not what you expect when you see Sean Penn and Brad Pitt in a movie together. This is epic, beautiful, and deals with a subject matter as deep as eternity. Very cool as a Jesus lover to see a little bit of the scope of how small we are yet God is still with us."

"One of my all time favorite films"

"It's a literal piece of **** film. The visuals and music are beautiful until they start the story. The story is shot on a vertical angle and is not told well at all. A total crap movie unless you really try to give it meaning as fans of the movie will. Think of a classic novel that was written with no meaning in mind, but your high school teacher insisted that the author had a grand point and meaning for it all. "
