Reviews

Radio Times

Andrew Collins

Acted with a rare lack of selfconsciousness by the two leads, it's a story of boy-meets-girl that just happens to be mythic in scope.

Some movies are so good that when they’re over, you almost expect the whole film industry to shut down.

It’s a well written tale of two lost souls dancing between idyllic naiveté and sociopathic violence. I couldn’t take my eyes off of it.

I didn't completely dislike the film. I was mostly just bored by it, which is often my criticism of Malick's films.

The film is admirable visually, verbally, psychologically. It took guts for a neophyte film maker still in his twenties to fire two cinematographers before a third gave him what he wanted; yet the result is seamlessly impeccable.
