Terrence Malick's films -- relatively rare events -- never make much of a dent at the box office, and this poetic 2011 drama didn't either, despite the presence of both Brad Pitt and Sean Penn. But, like the others, attention was indeed paid. Roger Ebert said, "The only other film I've seen with this boldness of vision is Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey." And he went on to add that 2001 "lacked Malick's fierce evocation of human feeling." In other word: Watch.
