there's no denying this star-studded, never-a-dull-moment cinematic oddity represents another flawed but fascinating reframing of man's place in the modern world
the movie bears all the hallmarks of late-era, prolific Malick: meandering pace, voice-over, many recognizable stars, and cinematography from Emmanuel Lubezki that will make you say, "At least it's pretty"
it might be the least "difficult" film Malick has made; it plays as a dream, and it plays like a dream. Sure, it takes his anti-narrative impulses further than ever before
