there is no emotional or philosophical through-line to carry the audience. A poem may not need a narrative, but it does need a structure

Song to Song was formerly known as Weightless, which would have suited its drifting, twirling rhythms. At least its new title doesn't invite an en-masse sigh of: "well, quite"
Song To Song is one of the more accessible Malick films as of late, succeeding largely in part thanks to a cast who plays their dramatic beats like poetry in motion
reduces the elegant, layered storytelling of "Badlands" and "Days of Heaven" to simpler variations, as if they're comprised of the beautiful residuals from those grander accomplishments
"Song to Song" finds the maestro in broken-record mode, rehashing more or less the same themes against the backdrop of the Austin music scene - merely the latest borderline-awful Malick movie that risks to undermine the genius & mystery of his best work
