More of the same from Malick, but as thin as it is, this is a trick that still hasn't run its course.
Will Leitch, The New Republic
Overview
Rick is a screenwriter living in Los Angeles. While successful in his career, his life feels empty. Haunted and confused, he finds temporary solace in the decadent Hollywood excess that defines his existence. Women provide a distraction to his daily pain, and every encounter brings him closer to finding his place in the world.

There's nothing quite like a Malick movie. But once viewers have contemplated the mysteries of the universe itself, perhaps anything else will feel like a step down.
David Sims, The Atlantic

This is all simply Malick being Malick - you're either on his wavelength or you're not.
Barry Hertz, Globe and Mail
Rotten
Virtually every scene is delivered through a gauzy cinematic curtain that obscures rather than elucidates, and we never come close to penetrating the angst-filled veneer of the protagonist.
Bruce Demara, Toronto Star
Rotten
Malick has moved from self-discovery to self-affirmation; he knows exactly what he's looking for, and Knight of Cups, for all its splendor, made me wish that he could take a swig and forget.
David Ehrlich, Slate
