The Tree Of Life

Terrence Malick muses on life, death, grace, nature and our place in the universe by showing us two children growing up. It's beautiful to look at but the constantly shifting camera and edits make you feel like you're suffering from ADD. I spent the film feeling like something important was about to happen but nothing ever did. It was artful and considered in a way I wish more films were so I despaired that I was so incredibly bored that for the first time in over a decade I strongly considered leaving win the half of the audience that did. This one is only for the insomniacs.
