    Did this get like a limited release or something? I remember hearing hype about it as maybe a potential Oscar-contender type film, but I just saw that it is out and I've barely even seen a preview for it on TV. I have absolutely no clue what it's about, the one preview I saw in the theaters months ago was mysterious

    The movie tries to address age old questions of the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. It focuses on a child's coming of age in a 1950's Texas Family. You will either hate or love this movie, but one thing is for sure, you and whoever you watched it with will be talking about it for hours afterwards.

    I caught it at Sunshine Theaters in the Lower East Side. It is limited release right now but will be all over pretty soon. There wasnt a seat available - had to sit in the first row :(

    Talk about wanting that hour and 15 minutes back from my life.

    I hated this movie more than anything, as did the 4 other people in the room with me.

    what the HELL was that ???? we had to turn it off because there were feelings of anger, confusion, boredom and it was just a straight up joke. Maybe it got REALLY good the last hour and 15 but I'd find it hard to believe it could have redeemed itself after the beginning.

    Absolute Torture

    I gotta see this movie... When i saw the tailors and pieces, i said to myself i am going to hate this piece of shit...


    Then i watched a interview with Steven Soderbergh (Oceans 11, Traffic, The informant, etc) and he said he is literally quitting directing because of what this guy (Terrence Malick) did in the tree of life, said he needs to re group and get better before he comes back...


    i gotta find that interview

    do NOT even do it to yourself .. its seriously going to make you range through every negative emotion and make you discover ones you never even knew you were capable of having.

    I was in a room with 4 other people and everyone felt the same. Its so FRIGGIN aggravating.

    I feel like the actors, writer, producer, film crew all went on an insane 7 day binge at Burning Man- then filmed the movie.

    just horrifying

    I get that certain films sometimes have a deeper meaning. Supposed to make you think, but this did nothing for me

    Do they even talk in it?

    Malick has a good reputation and there is a certain arthouse crowd that this movie probably appeals to, many of whom probably have a vote on the Academy. For me the 2.5 hour running time has kept me away, I can't justify watching a 2.5 hour movie in which I will probably dislike or be bored by the subject matter. If it were like 1 hr 40 mins or so, I may have taken a flier on it.

    There really shouldn't be 9 nominees for Best Pic. The Tom Hanks 9/11 movie has definitely brought the most backlash though with its nomination, by all accounts, that's just a crappy movie

    I'm ALL for movies that make you think and discuss and spark things inside of you and leave you guessing but this sparked nothing but boredom. As a joke someone that was watching it with us said, "whats next, dinosaurs?" and friggin 15 minutes later fucking dinosaurs !!! it was such a joke

    they talk but its like they are saying shit that makes ZERO sense. nothing flowed everything was very disconnected. There was one part where the son was in his room saying something to the effect of "are you there" "do you see me" that I believe was supposed to be him questioning God's existence. then you wouldn't hear any words for another 15 minutes. The wife in the movie would say "my son" once every 20 mins and I hated her face so much I was fantasizing about doing the moonwalk across it in heels.

    I heard the 9/11 movie was terrible. Have you seen it?

    yea 2.5 hours I can't imagine. we shut it down after an hour and fifteen it was just too much torture
