"*** 1/2! Malick, who is surely one of the most romantic and spiritual of filmmakers, appears almost naked here before his audience, a man not able to conceal the depth of his vision. Malick depicts relationships with deliberate beauty and painterly care."
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"To the Wonder spins visual poetry not only out of prairies and creek beds but also out of less obviously sublime facts of the landscape. A trip north to Mont Saint-Michel is like a visit to heaven itself."
- A.O. Scott, The New York Times
"A CINEMATIC MIRACLE THAT DESERVES TO ENDURE AS AN ARTISTIC LANDMARK. As original and distinctive as it is profound and heartfelt."
- Richard Brody, The New Yorker
"**** An absorbing, thoughtful, moving meditation on the things that matter."
- Empire
"RAPTUROUS. For those on Malick's rarefied wavelength, IT'S A WONDER."
- Richard Corliss, Time
"**** IT FEELS LIKE A GIFT."
- Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
"A BEAUTIFUL AND REWARDING FILM."
- Noel Murray, Los Angeles Times
"YOU WILL SELDOM SEE A MORE MAJESTICALLY SHOT MOVIE. The sheer inventiveness and variety of the contrasting images keeps you riveted."
- Jake Coyle, AP
"3 out of 4 stars. BOLD, SINCERE, LYRICAL, TRANSCENDENT. Malick reaches for pure cinema here."
- Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"ECSTATICALLY BEAUTIFUL. Malick is reaching for essential truths-attempting to give expression to the ineffable and show us something beautiful, reminding us that we live in a world that's larger than ourselves."
- Scott Tobias, The Onion A.V. Club
"THIS IS CINEMA SENT FROM THE HEAVENS. A sensual marvel. It locates tumbling cosmic depths in the most mundane of moments."
- David Jenkins, Little White Lies

THE TREE OF LIFE

"It's a noble crazy, a miraculous William Butler Yeats kind of crazy, alive with passion for art and the world, for all that is lost and not lost and still to come."
- Andrew O'Herir, Salon.com
"What Malick does in 'Tree of Life' is create the span of lives. Of birth, childhood, the flush of triumph, the anger of belittlement, the poison of resentment, the warmth of forgiving."
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"Few American filmmakers are as alive to the splendor of the natural world as Terrence Malick, but even by his standards, The Tree of Life represents something extraordinary."
- Justin Chang, Variety
"Better than a masterpiece -- whatever that is -- The Tree of Life is an eruption of a movie, something to live with, think, and talk about afterward."
- Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
"With disarming sincerity and daunting formal sophistication 'The Tree of Life' ponders some of the hardest and most persistent questions, the kind that leave adults speechless when children ask them."
- A.O. Scott, New York Times
