Critics Consensus: Terrence Malick's singularly deliberate style may prove unrewarding for some, but for patient viewers, Tree of Life is an emotional as well as visual treat.

Cinema Sight

Wesley Lovell

There are two distinct films being made here and while the opening frames of The Tree of Life are some of the finest in memory, there’s little in the middle-to-late section of the film worth noting.

You may not be able to pinpoint with words how it all comes together, but the beauty and power of Malick’s imagery and impressionistic approach to filmmaking convey another ponderous picture, the director’s most ambitious and lyrical work yet.

A film that blossoms into a compelling tale of nature versus nurture, which boasts one of Pitt's finest performances and imagery that will take root in your brain for days afterwards.

It is one of the most outstanding cinematic achievements of the 21st century and a tidy summation of everything that Malick does well.

This is the sort of sprawling, ambitious masterwork that rarely receives funding from a major film studio and you’ve got to admire Malick for sticking to his guns.
