Terrence Mailck's fourth film in four decades, The Tree of life, just came out. I made it through 30 minutes and said, "That is enough." The movie is plotless, pretentious and without roots to reality. It is so funny to me that critics, who have no idea what the movie is about, are using pretentious verbiage like "kind of" and "sort of"- words that people use when they do not have substantive things to say but want to sound like intellectuals- to describe the movie, or should I say, "film." We sort of call movies films when we want o sound sophisticated. Call it a film, call it a movie, I call it a piece of trash. The emperor has no clothes.
The best review of this movie so far is below, really.
