Reviews
An epic retelling of the Pocahontas story that, despite its flaws, leaves you slack-jawed with wonder at times.
These whispered ruminations are beautifully written, but whose voice are we hearing?
The Terrence Malick masterpiece I, for one, have been waiting for.
A two-and-a-half-hour cinematic mosaic meant by Malick more as a monument to himself than to the misrepresented maiden it presumes to memorialize.
A real work of art, a hearty meal in today's cinematic fast-food culture.
ill be cheered by a relatively small, but educated and curious contingent of ticket buyers.
Unfortunately, when you try to bring everything together, it’s hard to tell what Malick is trying to get at.
Lazily reassuring, a dime-store haiku, and a master’s nadir.
Malick's script reinforces some of the unlikely myths like Mataoaka's romance with John Smith and Mataoaka dramatically risking her life to save Smith's life. But like most Malick films it is also a finely painted portrait showing the smallness of man in
One thing you have to give Malick credit for: He certainly marches to a different drummer, even if it’s one that only he can hear, and he never meets an audience even halfway.
Self-indulgent sludge dressed up as shimmering historical aesthetics--and paced as briskly as a swim across the Atlantic.
There are so many mysteries in this film, and Malick's greatest achievement was to suggest them without forcing answers on us.
From carefree nymph with long hair flying in the wind to corseted lady of restraint, Q'Orianka Kilcher's Pocahontas appeals to the free spirit in all of us. But the film is strangely uninvolving.
A melancholy revery of a time when nature provided a spiritual sustenance that could not be replaced by religious or social order.
...seamlessly combines lavishly mounted beauty with subtle emotional power.
