So his comment is a good sign he won't be cut.

Not sure if that equals a bad year. You hate a Malick movie? The line starts over there. You can argue with yourselves endlessly on why you like this one, but didn't like that one.

He doesn't take any visuap risks like Sokurov, who really can use images with no solid narrative to hook you in and leave you with strange feelings that are hard to put in words. Malick's latest films have a hallmark quality about them that is very offputting to me.

like most anglo art film directors–like Kubrick–he gets far more credit than he deserves.

Days Of Heaven is a masterpiece though.

Can anyone confirm that seeing William Friedkin talk into a microphone in 2013 is the most boring event on the planet? Let us know.

To my mind there's nothing remotely "misfire" about TO THE WONDER. Rarely has a film prompted so many thoughts, feelings and interpretations in me about humans, relations, consciousness, or simply 'being' very broadly put. The sheer honesty presented in the film is almost brutal, and yet very endearing – indeed necessary! Just look at Mr. Bardem's facial expression after a wedding when addressed by an older woman – "Father, I'm going to pray for you." […] "So you will receive the gift of joy." When do you see an expression like that on film without it being over-dramatized or simply not felt truly..?

To me Malick is going are truth, unveiling; no theatricality, no pretending, no letting a so-called plot take reigns in a preconcieved notion. Just seeking a truth and honesty, and for that I dearly thank the director for having the guts and conviction to go after…

Scorsese has New York, New York, Kubrick has Fear and Desire and Malick has To the Wonder. Sure Friedkin has more misfires, but I appreciate that he challenges himself and tries new things.
TTW felt like Malick mocking himself. Almost like Anderson with Moonrise Kingdom.

What did everyone see in this?!" But then after watching To The Wonder I started thinking maybe this is more of an Emperor's New Clothes type thing. Everyone is oohing and aahing over something that's just not there. To The Wonder was painful. I don't think I'll ever be able to take Olga Kurylenko seriously again. I'll always expect her to start skipping and twirling. Oh the damn twirling.

I hope Michael is in the movie, though, because I'm sure I won't like this one too but at least he'll distract me.

It could be To The Wonder or it could be Tree of Life also.

To the Wonder was a beautifully shot romance but didn't have much else going for it. I never did truly understand Javier Bardem's role in the film, Affleck wasn't given all that much to do, yet Olga was magnificent in it. I hope Knight of Cups and the Austin music film aren't as inchoate and To the Wonder.

Btw, what film was Fassbender asked if he'll appear in since he worked on both as-of-yet unreleased Malick productions?
