Tree of Life

Today on boston.com, I saw jump headlines for a review of Tree of Life (the early ones are gone now so this is from memory and I presume they are all to the same review). Here they are in the order I saw them.

"Tree of Life a mess"

"Tree of Life is hard to understand"

"Tree of Life is visionary"

"Malick's Tree of Life open to interpretation"

I'll wait for LA Guy's review


NOTE-its Rated: PG-13 for "suffering, both human and dinosaur"

I liked it but but it's the kind of art house film that you have to be careful about recommending. I don't think I'll review it at length any time soon, but I'm sure it'll appear in my year-end wrap-up.

What no Malick retrospective?

I liked Badlands though I keep remembering as Charlie rather than Martin in the lead role

The trailer for the film turned me off (though they didn't play up the dinosaur bit- seemed like it was a "very important film" about the goddam boomers and their f*cking hopes and dreams) but then I heard it was Malick and thought it should at least be a little interesting

Here's a lengthy discussion of Malick to hold you until the end of the year:
