The Tree of Life - Terrence Malick (2011)

I've heard a lot of praise regarding this film. If you read the reviews you'd find that it's meant to be deep and meaningful... well I didn't think so. It doesn't really created the mood for you to engange into deep thinking. It might pretend to, but it doesn't get there. It's beautiful to watch, every frame is, but that's as far as it goes. The narrative is... interesting, but it's not that innovative. It's not bold enough for you to have to recreate the story, you can still follow it. I don't know. I felt a bit ripped off.
