If you thought Malicks last outing (Tree of life) was weird and couldn't get a grasp on that, then let me tell you, this won't be for you. Tree of life looks a straight/linear story compared to this. If you like movies that dare to experiment a bit, than get a taste, because Malick is a terrific filmmaker. And with a cast that goes all the way for him, you have a strange mix, that is hard to describe.
Moments of Zen are followed by moments of outrage. Not often loud ones mind you, but subtle ones as well. The movie feels like being taken from memories of someone reliving their lives and thinking what could've been different and what other choices they could've made. Olga Kurylenko gives a powerhouse performance, to a character that might otherwise feel a bit clichéd (especially the outbursts). All the others are more or less support, though Ben Affleck has a bigger part in this as well, but still working as a piece of Kurylenkos character arc/story.
Not easy and hard to watch through, it's up to the viewers taste what they'll make of it
