Even if you have like me, up until this point, been a fan of Terence Malick’s films…

Watched “To The Wonder”.

Judgement: Fabulously gorgeous city and landscape cinematography. Otherwise… An appallingly boring, tedious and pretentious load of old guff. By two thirds of the way through this LOOOOONG movie I was becoming seriously irritated. By the end, I just wanted to eat my own teeth.

Avoid like the plague. 👿

You could at least put ‘spoiler’ in the thread title – we know what doesn’t happen now 😉

Sounds just like The Thin Red Line.

I enjoyed The Thin Red line. I’m not averse to meditative film making and I was even prepared to accept his last effort – “Tree of Life” – once I’d got myself into the suitable frame of mind, but “TTW” was seriously bloody awful.

I just think he’s lost it.

Thin Red Line was watchable but only just was very long drawn out boring film so this one must be painful.

You say tomartoes and I say tomaytoes.

The best bits of To The Wonder are the landscape and cityscape photography, but even these seem hurriedly and most un-Malick-like hastily edited so he can get on with the lazy, self-indulgent rubbish of the rest of it.

Gah.
