Featured review
Well, if you've never seen a Terrence Malick film...
...I'll give it a 7 out of 10 for you! But I'd suggest skipping this and watching "Days of Heaven" instead, and if you already saw that, I'm not sure what this film will do for you. The style is very similar but not nearly as effective as prime Malick; after a while it starts to feel manipulative. I think these kinds of films work well when the audience senses urgency for the main characters (s). Here, however, the main character is young and likely has plenty of time to pursue other things. Moreover, she doesn't come across as all that motivated to do something else with her life (perhaps giving her a special goal/dream and showing us how she longs for it in her spare time would have helped a lot). The visuals are nice, but only for a short time, and then we see that it's a rather alienating landscape to some degree, but the director doesn't utilize this and instead we just get the same types of scenes and music. The plot is too thin if the acting is just okay and the visuals or audio/visual patterns just keep repeating, which is the case here.
