This is the first time where I got actually annoyed rather than bewondered when watching a Malick film. There is too much that is trying to be told; too many pointless levels and too much spiritual nonsense, so that the film runs the risk of eventually being viewed as trifling and completely adrift.....

This is Terrence Malick at his very purest. A seemingly evanescent piece of filmmaking that truly had a lasting impression on me..
