Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The result actually plays like a divine pronouncement, cosmic in scope and oracular in tone, a cinematic sermon on the mount that shows its creator in exquisite form. Exquisite but frustrating.

"The Tree of Life" is rooted in human nature but ascends to the infinite mystery. It's a dizzying climb with few footholds for the timid or cynical, but the view from above is heavenly.

rotten:
Glibly put, this challenging time-skipping rumination is the big screen equivalent of watching that "Tree" grow.

fresh:
In this flawed yet masterful, unforgettable movie, Malick argues that even the tiniest mote can have value. He sees miracles everywhere. You just have to make an effort to see them, too.

This film's rewards are many, for those with the patience to simply let it float.
