What to Know

Critics Consensus

Ambitious and visually absorbing, A Hidden Life may prove inscrutable to non-devotees -- but for viewers on Malick's wavelength, it should only further confirm his genius.

Roxana Hadadi Pajiba Watching A Hidden Life feels like both going to church and performing penance, like Terrence Malick wants us to submit to the same ideological journey as his protagonist. Mar 28, 2020 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au A Hidden Life is definitely on the long side, and there will be people whose patience may be exhausted, but if you give yourself over to it, it's a moving, emotional film with truly breathtaking visuals and wonderful performances. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 28, 2020 Full Review David Stratton The Australian There is no doubt that A Hidden Life is a labour of love for Malick, but it will prove a challenge for audiences willing to experience the latest work of this most interesting and wayward director. Rated: 3/5 Feb 1, 2020 Full Review David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment A beautiful looking film that will be loved by anyone who enjoys Terrence Malick's films. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Sukanya Verma Rediff.com Meditative and transcendent drama. Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Brendan Cassidy InSession Film Perhaps Terrence Malick should continue working among the trees and the mountains rather than skyscrapers.

Pat G One of the most powerful movies I've ever seen. Highly recommend to everyone. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/10/20 Full Review Robert S Beautifully shot and based on a true story, A Hidden Life is a remarkable, timely film about the courage it takes to stand against fascism and man’s inhumanity to humanity. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/20 Full Review sick of boring movies Drug out about 1.5 hour to long.. stayed on scenes to long could had done without the Dramatic effects.. but other then that. Story line was good.. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/20 Full Review pedro Great movie, very deep, beautiful place. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/20 Full Review Harriet story line and scenery was lovely but much much too long - could have cut out at least 1/2 hour to 45 minutes Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/20 Full Review J. Perry Terrence Malik always delivers beautifully shot thought provoking films, A Hidden Life was no exception. While some may stir in their seats at the length of the film, others will be enraptured by this story of the importance of principle. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/20 Full Review Read all reviews
