Though frustrating in its final viewpoint and lack of a concrete closing, Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life" is a sure-fire conversation starter filled with magnificent visuals supported by a commanding performance from Brad Pitt.

A film does not have to be concrete and straightforward to be great. This is the film that Terrence Malick has been working toward and the wait has been completely worth it. The Tree of Life is a film that not all will embrace, but it is undoubtedly brilliant. Malick has crafted yet another masterpiece- one that I can easily put in the pantheon of greatest films of all time.

I just wanted to state loud and proudly, this is my official number 1. I don't expect many to agree, but this movies themes and visuals have haunted my conscious like none other. I have no interest in debating it, I just want to share my love proudly.

a film like no other. although flawed, this film achieves more than nearly everything ive ever seen. its like experiences a dream, i love malicks dream-like directorial quality and this film perfectly serves his grand ambitions. this film is beyond categorization, a movie that tugs at your emotions through sensations, feelings and tone.it tells a story through imagery, and has more humanity than 2001. there is nothing more ambitious than the tree of life.

A frustrating though ultimately rewarding movie. Unlike anything I've seen before.

there will be blood was the best film of last decade, now we have the best film of this decade. unless p.t. andersons next film 'the master' tops his last effort, which would be highly unlikely
