The Tree of Life (1001 Movies #1147)

"The lack of story or purpose is annoying and at times, the film is too experimental. Topping things off is an abrupt and unsatisfying ending which doesn't leave us with good feeling towards the film."

Amy Curtis of We Got This Covered agrees with one of our hosts, especially regarding Malick’s lack of a story. We will call that host... the hero.

“If you truly give in to the beauty of this amazing film, you might even find yourself changed by it. How often can you say that at the cinema?”

Brian Tallerico of Hollywood Chicago, on the other hand, taps into our other host's focus on the art house and work of cinema. That host? The idiot.

Join us as we discuss both sides, but more importantly, discuss how on earth Sean Penn could possibly be the product of the loins of Brad Pitt and The Chastain. How Terence Malick, How?!?
