Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
myshell7777 No dialogue. No plot. No movie. Awful!! I waited and waited for something to happen but it never did. Talk about dysfunctional!
Andres-Camara Malick tries Malick again, for the people they like. Personally I do not like it and this movie was not going to be different. When a movie can last for half an hour or so and do not undergo any changes, there is something strange. In this case, I think that happens exactly. The film spends almost all its time making nonsense plans in which you see the characters look at each other or look at infinity with voice-overs saying phrases that claim to be phrases for the story but do not say anything.If you like to watch movies that enjoy the visual, metaphysical part but without a course, you'll like it.The actors, they are, if they are, but I believe that they do not even know what they have to do, besides putting interesting faces. It is not known how they act, because they do not say anything.It is filmed in many places. I wondered if I chose the sites for something or if I had rolled there because it seemed nice. I'd like to ask the director.She has a photograph that is ugly, even if she is not pretty, but I do not know what she wants to tell me, because I do not know if she brings anything to the story.Directing Malick, I do not know if he directs but if we say that he does not understand anything, as much has not directed. The film is so special that you can not appreciate the tempo, or anything, but I know that the plans do not like or tell me anything. Some are even poorly composed.The unconditional of this director, you will be delighted.
psmithbell I agree with other reviewers that this is exhaustingly boring. But worse, it seems to glorify shallow, unproductive people. These two supposedly 'fall in love' as evidenced by their acting like 3 year-olds (twirling, LOTS of twirling, running, scampering, and light PDA). And there are always carnival rides, right? SO cliché. The artsy presentation does NOT make up for the clichés. At least he has a job. She does NOTHING except twirl all daylong and play in the mud. She is pretty, and French so she seems to get away with this. She has no job, doesn't go to school, read, paint, meet new people, make her house into a home, nothing ....except twirl, flirt and rub herself like a cat on her man. Imagine if she were 88 or unattractive. How would this film seem then? I kept imagining her a a crone, still twirling and rubbing herself on men. Would this seem romantic? Deep? No, just sad. And she abandoned her daughter like a shallow person gives up pet. She has another child, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. HIs dad is in the US and his mom will soon rub herself on another temporary partner. What a bunch of baloney. The man is not much better, he has a job and it is implied that he has some moral misgivings about it, but he doesn't DO anything about it, and he also has zero interests beyond his waning interest in twirling women. He briefly dates a woman who has a little depth, she at least, has faith (and she doesn't twirl but does romp a bit). He dumps her without conscience . It would be different if this film was about the wastefulness of living an unexamined, unproductive life, but it seems to be about the sadness of unattainable perfect 'love'. Get a life. By the end of the film I just wanted to slap both of them into maturity. Real love is between two fully self-actualized developed people. Not toddlers.
kz917-1 So, so bad. Terence Malick wrote and directed To the Wonder. I really wonder what he was thinking. The synopsis states: "After falling in love in Paris, Marina and Neil come home to Oklahoma, where problems arise. Their church's Spanish born pastor struggles with his faith, while Neil encounters a woman from his childhood."I only lasted twenty minutes into this film and that was full of ethereal imagery and dialogue in French.
