... just another minor variation on Malick's favorite theme-the power of love and spirituality to transcend the life-poisoning curses of ambition and greed-and not a very effective one, at that.

Remember when Terrence Malick movies happened once in a geological age? God be with the days.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 26, 2017

"Nothing felt real," Mara laments at the start of Song To Song. That, sadly, is an observation that can just as well be aimed at the movie as a whole.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 12, 2017

At best, the Malick method is a cinematic sacrament. At worst, it's a moronic, cringeworthy perfume commercial. Malick's new film, Song to Song, is his worst yet. An absolute shocker.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 11, 2017

It all adds up to a beautiful nothing.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 9, 2017

Haters be damed - this is one of the year's best.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 7, 2017

It won't convert the unconvinced, but it is beautiful, melancholic, audacious and well-played, a refinement rather than reinvention of a singular filmmaker.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 6, 2017

We're left with gorgeous photography (Emmanuel Lubezki), a plotless plot and a sense that some transcendentalist Nashville may lurk here waiting to be discovered, though not - thanks - by me.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 6, 2017

There are some inspired visual flourishes and it is a film with its own weird stamina and momentum: sometimes exasperating, sometimes mesmeric.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 6, 2017

The haughtily unenlightened can joke and snipe and snore all the want. As evinced by Song to Song, Malick is operating in top form. If only we'd be bothered to do the work of making sense of it.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 7, 2017

Terrence Malick's latest film isn't so much a movie as it is a freeform collection of whispers and beseeching looks.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 6, 2017

Though my low expectations were essentially met, I'm tired of Terrence Malick coasting on mediocrity and it being considered "experimental"

| Original Score: 1-5 stars | Apr 1, 2017

This is the one with Ryan Gosling, and like Terrence Malick's two previous dramas it's a gauzy, improvised affair that looks like a photo essay out of Architectural Digest and regards its gorgeous, murmuring actors as if they were statuary.

"Song to Song" is Terrence Malick's first truly awful film.

| Mar 23, 2017

It's hard to say if the film's opaqueness is a distraction, or a saving grace; certainly, this kind of Euro arty ethos is easier to swallow in another language.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 23, 2017

"Song to Song" isn't the sleepy disappointment Malick's last two films were, but it's hard not to wish he'd wake up.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 23, 2017

If "Song to Song" is a punctuation point in Malick's search for a new visual language, let it be an instructive one.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 23, 2017

Some moviegoers will find the experience frustrating; others will be exhilarated by a film that's far afield from the usual formulas.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 23, 2017

Song to Song is slightly less pretentious than Malick's last film, the 2015 sigh of ennui Knight of Cups, though it features just as many miniature actresses.

| Mar 23, 2017

"Song to Song" tests its dreamers and wanderers and leaves them a little wiser, maybe, for the experience. And maybe that's the best way to express how I felt watching it ...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 23, 2017
