What to Know

Critics Consensus

To the Wonder demonstrates Terrence Malick's gift for beautiful images, but its narrative is overly somber and emotionally unsatisfying.

Bilge Ebiri Spirituality & Health Although the filmmaker often puts specifically Christian imagery into his film, his sensibility turns out to be more Zen: he can find manifestations of glory in both the noblest gesture and the darkest impulse. Mar 25, 2020 Full Review J. Hoberman ARTINFO.com Where The Tree of Life was sanctimonious, To the Wonder is about the failure of sanctimony. Feb 22, 2019 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Though Malick has a knack for enhancing the mood of each scene with stunning visual effects, it's not enough to boost the film. Rated: C+ Sep 7, 2017 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film Despite a lackluster script, I think the performances are exactly what Malick, the director, was wanting out of them. Rated: B- Aug 23, 2024 Full Review Sofía Ochoa Rodríguez En Filme To The Wonder isn't a diatribe or a lamentation. It's the celebration of movement, of the existence of earth and water, of a woman's hair and face, of the possibility of human contact in moments of loneliness. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Nov 23, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review What an audience makes of To the Wonder must be a personal experience, although the basic threads of the story have autobiographical relevance for the director.

Leprechaun K Visually stunning in every frame, but the storytelling is incoherent at best. Affleck was also a miscast. He just doesn't have the depth to portray the lead in Malick's spiritual experimental film. I think the movie would have been more interesting if Affleck's and Bardem's roles were swapped. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/01/25 Full Review Michael E This movie litterally wasted two hours of my life that I'll never get back!!!!! It has a FANTASTIC CAST with Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams and Olga Kurylenko. But I litterally almost DIED OF BOREDOM when i wasn't falling asleep.....because of boredom!!!! One of those DEEP THOUGHT movies with almost NOTHING to think about. I'm a fan of these actors........but the movie was simply terrible!!!!!!!! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/06/25 Full Review Isaiah Y Disliked by many for not being a traditional Hollywood film, but only reaffirming Terrence Malick’s talents Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Sanja S Wasting of almost two hours of my life. 🙄 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review CG B No plot, no acting, no meaningful dialog. Artsy to a fault, to the point of zero anything. A totally useless and meaning less waste of time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review Audience Member Love makes us one, is there nothing else we need if we love each other?, where are we when we are at the place we end up?, love is not only a feeling, it's a duty The movie is gorgeously filmed, has breathtaking cinematography, a top-notch cast, and some spiritual music Some might get annoyed with the fish eye lens and this ends up being emotionally vacant throughout But the film's intent is told through fractured memories and mainly asks what happens to love and where does it go after it fades You can just take the film in for what it is as an experience if not an entirely coherent, after all this is how Terrence Malick approaches the human subtext This gathers the nature of love, the love of nature, and the silence of God's loving ness and the beauty of compassion Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
