There are some directors that are lionized by critics to the extent that can seem to do no wrong. Malick is such a director. His reputation may have once been deserved, but surly not now.

His reputation may have once been deserved, but surly not now. Song To Song may be the nail in the coffin of his career as far as I'm concerned. Just terrible.… Expand

I'm really at a loss as to what to say about Song To Song except that this must be a career nadir from a once excellent director. Pretentious twaddle masquerading as something deep and meaningful. Truly awful.

a new entry in my top worst movies. i couldn't stop laughing at the ridiculously artistically forced scenes every damn second, the biggest failure of any European wannabe movie where non-european directors just can't make it naturally. whata new entry in my top worst movies. i couldn't stop laughing at the ridiculously artistically forced scenes every damn second, the biggest failure of any European wannabe movie where non-european directors just can't make it naturally. what is worse is that over 50% of the audience in an international movie festival in Europe just couldn't stop laughing! and that started in the first 20 minutes. what a waste of good actors and what an epic fail!… Expand

And wow was it awful. He somehow managed to take five of the most talented and charming actors and make them mindnumbingly boring. It was so clear that he had them improvise without taking the time to develop their characters. They were cardboard people saying stupid stuff. The cinematography wasn't even that great this time around. Malick needs another twenty year break. Oof.… Expand

Pretentious, promiscuous Austin scenesters pair up, cheat on each other, take drugs, ramble endlessly about wanting to "be free" and "try everything" (as though these weren't already overworked cliches 50 years ago), and ultimately realizePretentious, promiscuous Austin scenesters pair up, cheat on each other, take drugs, ramble endlessly about wanting to "be free" and "try everything" (as though these weren't already overworked cliches 50 years ago), and ultimately realize that, hey, doing all the above isn't really a very fulfilling lifestyle. WHOA DEEP STUFF THERE MALICK. Meanwhile the camera pads out the runtime with screen saver nature footage and about 45 minutes worth of people staring dully out of windows, which I'm pretty sure Terrence Malick insists on as a contractual requirement in all his movies.

Overall it's very very slow, very dull, and nowhere near as profound as it pretends to be (when you dig past the slick surface it's actually a very low-rent, trashy storyline worthy of a Skinemax direct-to-TV special). I'm only giving it a couple points because the cast was very attractive and the cinematography was pretty great, so at least you have something nice to look at as you watch these self-absorbed hipsters flail around idiotically (sometimes quite literally) for what seems like 5 hours.… Expand

Song To Song

The procedure to convey the message has always been convoluted and thought-provoking for the audience but if the resultant outcome isn't worth the effort invested, it turns into disappointment. Terrence Malick is no short on execution but the script, that is not something fresh, in fact a typical story merely retold through Malick's lenses. On performance, the feature doesn't rely upon single actor in fact, each individual factors in as a supporting cast where even though Natalie Portman, Ryan Gosling and Cate Blanchett are good in it, Rooney Mara and Michael Fassbender steals the show. Song To Song has everything on its side i.e. beautiful cinematography, amazing background score, stunning visuals, brilliant execution and stellar performance, except a good old tale.… Expand
