The longer I spend as an atheist, the more I find myself unable to empathize with religious sentiments. This includes the ones expressed in this film.Visually sumptuous, but quite tedious.

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.Limbesdautomne
Terence Malick's remorse at his desk: "Next time, try to film essential stuff, just the essential, not my common weird sh*t".Read more in French on La Saveur des goûts amers.

I watched this not long after its release. At the time, if I remember correctly, I didn't quite like the film. It may have had something to do with having been stoned and tired. It's not a film to watch in such a state, with its slow pace. In my high, I also couldn't quite grasp the message it wanted to project. My mind was running all over the place.Yesterday, I was on a date with a stunning woman. Having told her that I didn't quite like the movie, she felt, based on what she knew about me already, that I would like The Tree of Life if I gave it another shot in a more sober state (sober, if you ignore the butterflies).
She was right. I liked it. She also summed it up beautifully:
The Tree of life shows you a stark contrast between the seeming insignificance of human lives -- in relation to the vastness of the cosmic world -- and the experiences and emotions in those human lives that sometimes appear or feel cosmic in scale.

Although I don't know if I "got" it, I found Tree of Life to be visually stunning and not slow or boring at all.ReVision
I'm going to need some time digesting this film. All kinds of thoughts are running through my head right now.fonz
On a day I sliced a part of my finger off, this made me feel much better. Yes, we as humans have problems, but in the end it's just water under the bridge. And that our human problems pale in comparison with the grand beauty of the universe.elgw
Weird and beautiful. We are all very small in the scheme of things. Loved the dinosaurs.Earring72
Stunning visuals and poetic movie that evokes many emotions but also frustrating at times and clearly not for everyone. Sean Penn is wasted. Kid actors are terrific.Dawizz
Pretentious bore crap-a-ton. The movie is all about a snot rich white guy mopping, he doesn't even knows why. Wake up you had a nice house/clothes/food a great mom and two younger brothers that liked/loved you! What more do you need obnoxious/un-greatful spoiled brat. Dad was harsh whit me boo hoo. Parents are parents NOT YOUR FRIENDS! They are there to teach you about life, life is not fluffly clouds sunny days pink unicorns.kaffy
This is a movie that expects you to feel some sort of sympathyniko.lai
Pretentious. They should put this on the stores televisions so you can watch the colours and the definition of the tv. Besides that i can't think in a good use for this movie.contrafugal
Well, at least someone is trying.hjkl
The Tree of Life is composed of some of the most beautiful photography you'll ever see in a movie, combined with emotive music and spoken philosophic messages. However stuffing in unrelated nature scenes with voiceover feels more like an attempt of mind control, than a movie. Photography is very important for a movie of course, if it's there to enhance the plot. Where's the plot?Rosenrotta
What a boring crapfest. Worst Malick film to date.Showing items 1 – 15 of 109
