LOVEFiLM Review The Tree of Life

  • 4 stars out of 5  

    By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLM

    Since premiering at Cannes, this Terrence Malick drama has divided critics. Either way, The Tree of Life is a must-see.

  • Worst film ever

    Rated - 0.5 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Please do not rent or watch this garbage. It is just awful.

    Like many I fell for the Brad Pitt and Sean Penn trap thinking they would be in something decent. Big mistake.

    Shockingly bad with no story line, bad acting and no direction.

    Rubbish

  • Real Tosh!

    Rated - 0.5 stars  
    By a customer , 19 May 2013
    This film is the most pretentious tosh, the plot line was obscured by high falutin whisperings to God,gushing waterfalls,erupting volcanoes and cosmic wonders. It was impossible to know what was happening and who was who. Gave up after 50 mins.

    The start too long to get into! Felt I had to persist! It's was well done but didn't need the long intro and slightly lost the point to the move! Think great for school movies for education but not something you can enjoy at ease!

  • Pretentious timewasting bilgewater.

    Rated - 0.5 stars

    Agree with almost all the other commentators - this is the most stupid, pretentious, timewasting, 100 octane bilge I have ever had the misfortune to watch. The big names led me to mistakenly believe this might be a film of some worth.

    I watched this movie for 30 minutes after which I was so annoyed I switched it off. It's pretentious, disappointing and pointless.

    If you gave a fifteen year old wannabe director twenty grillion pounds and let him do whatever he liked, with whichever actors, for as long as he wished, it would come out just like this. It is but once in a blue moon that I give up on a film. This film was just such a blue moon. Go sit on the toilet and stare at the shower curtain for a couple of hours - it will be more fun
