Susan T Two hours of my life gone. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review George W This is one of the greatest movies I'll ever see and easily Terrance Malick's best. If I could I'd give it ten stars. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Audience Member I couldn't finish this. Why would you have this massive "life" montage that kills the momentum of the stories beginning and made me too disinterested to watch anymore of it. Reminded me of Kubrick's 2001- which doesn't play well in 2025. Love Brad and Sean and Jessica but this should have JUST been the story- which minus the montage- would've been meh, a period piece and not a great one at that. Another case of critic's not connecting with an actual audience. Not Keeping, and reviewed poorly. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review HameZz O One of the best shot movies. There's no denying that this film has some of the most beautiful shots. But story wise it feels thin. Obviously, this is just Malick's style. I do like the way he tells his story-the narration, and visual storytelling are all done well. Although, one can only take too much of something and to me it felt like it was all just drawn out and some things made very little sense to me. The Thin Red Line is in my opinion the best Malick film I've seen because it balances his visual storytelling, poetic narration, and it just actual storytelling through conversation between characters and events. I don't think that's called actual storytelling but that's what I'm calling it. Anyway good movie if you have the patience. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Vita S This movie feels to me more like a documentary about loss and confusion. Religious doom and human spiritual, "lacrimosa" hope. I am definitely not getting all the subtext references that might make it more attractive but overall I think it's a movie worth a watch. It's sad contemplative style, its disconnected chronology, its difficult to grasp fil rouge made me wonder and kept me looking. As another review mentioned, it's a good collection of nostalgic, emotional and evocative frames. As another stated, it's like two parallel movies together. It brought me tears, peace, curiosity, it made me sleepy and a bit bored but maybe that's not a bad thing as it softly tickled my imagination and reflection with its meditative picture, solemn music and scattered narration. I wouldn't say it's engaging but it will keep me thinking a little bit. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review A. Pismo C This is absolutely one of the worst movies I have seen in 75 years, and that is a LOT of movies. How does this mess even get financed? Admittedly, I watched 30 minutes of the movie, but I can only imagine it didn't get any better. A waste of time. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Read all reviews
