I must have missed something because so far this festival (TIFF 2013) this is the worst film I have seen. I struggled through it for about half the film and finally gave up. I was not alone in walking out and would not recommend the film despite a wonderful cast. Comparing this film to a masterpiece like Rashomon is shocking.

I read this script back in 2006 and have never forgotten it. Hundreds of scripts later, it is still the most emotionally intense and authentic thing I have ever read. I can't wait to see both films!

This was such an honest and amazing film. The soundtrack was phenomenal. I want to see it again already.

Was afraid this would be amazing. I have a ticket to this and Can a Song Save Your Life on Saturday but because of the 3+ hour runtime they overlap.

Interested to see how they decide to roll this out..

I'm curious whether the choice of which film to watch first actually has an effect on the viewers interpretation of the story. Do you think seeing "His" story first makes you more sympathetic to his pov (or vice versa)?

I have a lot of respect for everything Chastain is part of, her choices are both interesting and smart.

Wow, to be a struggling filmmaker invited to Malick's set to be inspired and write … what a good friend and collaborator Chastain is/was to this director.

I agree nikola, TDOER was impressively well done for dual movies with such an expansive scope. I was most impressed with the excellent score and soundtrack benson developed for both films.

I'm so glad the films are getting such a good response. I love the concept and McAvoy and Chastain are favourites of mine. I hope they release the films soon!

why doesn't he just make it the 1 film? you could have 2 chapters that both go for 90 mins, making for a 3 hour epic like Blue is the warmest color. if its one film then it will be appreciated as a singular work, which I think is much more appropriate. if its 2 films, then people may not see the 2nd one. just make it the 1 film dude

That's a rather short review for two movies.

Anyway, now I'm even more excited for this movie(s).
