Audience Reviews

Danielle T A dreamlike movie with paradisiacal images that nonetheless perfectly illustrate in contrast the inner emptiness felt by the main character, played to perfection by an almost ethereal Christian Bale. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review Donna M Not even worthy of 1 star. Not even if just wanting some monotonous background noise that drones on and on. For 40 minutes there is no dialogue between the actors, it is simply one voice of a behind the scenes reader. An inane movie that wastes the valuable and limited time of life. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review Terry S Visually amazing with such great images and expert direction and cinematography that I didn't care if I didn't quite understand it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Blu B I'm all for challening film making. In a industry where we ge nothing but the same things repackaged to us, terrible remakes, and everything has to be a franchise it's refreshing to have something just try to be artistic and unique that challenges traditional narratives. Unfortunately this is not the next Pulp Fiction, Breathless, or Nashville. There is a fine line between being artistic and grounded in fundamental storytelling elements. This completely ignores it and while some shots are amazing and call back to some of Mallick's best films cinematography wise this more guilty than anything of all sizzle and no steak and that's when it does something worthwhile. Mallick in this has crossed the border from challenging and become way too self indulgent and pretentious looking down on anyone else who can't understand. I can "feel" like I'm supposed to take away something from this and there are snippets here and there of a slight story but it never forms a whole and its almost deliberately making things too challenging on purpose like your being setup for failure unless your the most hardcore of hardcore and committed cinema junkies. But, more importantly even if I was smart enough to understand this and on the directors level, I still would'nt care enough because this is REALLY boring. The music is so boring, generic, and forgettable. Everything else is just convuluted and abstract beyond belief and recognition. Terrance has been going down this road for a while but this truly signifies for beter or for worse hes crossed the point into pure abstraction. Stay away from this. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/24 Full Review Gina O Brilliant!! The art of filmmaking.. Poetry in motion! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review Alec B Malick has completely abandoned narrative here, instead he's capturing fragmented memories, dreams, and emotions. I know people find his more recent efforts tiresome, but I think that's a mistake. Here's a filmmaker really baring his soul to the audience while trying to find meaning in his own suffering and I believe that's a perspective worth experiencing.
