Song to Song

"...merely the latest borderline-awful Malick movie that risks to undermine the genius and mystery of his best work."

"No Badlands, but the best of the recent minor Malicks. And it features Val Kilmer with a chainsaw."

""Song to Song" continually flits - like the butterfly seen in one fleeting shot - from theme to theme, from love (always love) to fidelity, betrayal, identity, art, freedom, captivity, forgiveness and mercy."

"There are some inspired visual flourishes and it is a film with its own weird stamina and momentum: sometimes exasperating, sometimes mesmeric."

"The famous, finely chiseled faces that drift before the camera both fulfill and complicate one of the director's aims, which is to critique the fleeting temptations and soul-crushing consequences of fame, beauty, power and decadence."

"This emotionally challenged romance gives more ammo to those who've turned on the revered auteur."

"It won't convert the unconvinced, but it is beautiful, melancholic, audacious and well-played, a refinement rather than reinvention of a singular filmmaker."
