I don't get Terrence Malick's style of visuals at all. I know the world regards him as a "visual poet," but while I am usually very struck by visuals, I am left pretty cold by him, both in this and in Tree of Life. The story itself is fairly interesting, but it's Martin Sheen as Kit that is the best, most fascinating part of the movie. He doesn't play him like your average psychopath. The character is fascinating and I find myself wanting to figure him out just as much as Holly does. His performance is what makes this movie worth a watch. 2.5 stars.
Flickchart: #666, below I Heart Huckabees and above An Affair to Remember.
