So I'm usually pretty rough on Malick. Mostly for Thin Red Line and New World, but....

To the Wonder was really outstanding. At least that's my 5 minute later reaction seeing, as I just finished the film.

I read some of the reviews, and wow, I think people sort of missed the point. Like major swing and a miss.

Anyways. I'm sure only BV will read this. Next in line, probably Sunday, is finally Tree of Life. Apparently, I should have watched them the other way around.

Tree of Life was so much better. To the Wonder almost felt like a perfume commercial with all that narration.

The epiphany sequence with the priest near the end is one of the most emotional scenes I've seen in any movie. The New World was my favorite Malick film until I saw To the Wonder. Great score also, liked the Richard Wagner piece. Beautiful film.

Glad you liked it. Wasn't expecting that. Put up a Tree of Life review too.
