Terrence Malick is not a filmmaker who likes to rush things. It took 3 years to bring his latest film The Tree of Life to the big screen, and it was time well spent for this is a film of visual and emotional power that showcases Malick as a filmmaker without equal, presenting the human condition with a soulful clarity while the dazzling the eye with a tapestry of images. No other director has probed into the relationship between Man-Earth-God like Malick has, nor done so with such courageous conviction.
