The Tree of Life (2011)
Ambitious, too ambitious

i thought the movie was exactly what the poster depicted it would be. dozens of very interesting snapshots assembled together.
but it lacked a central theme- correction: a STRONG central theme. the cinematography and musical score were utterly mind-blowing, each scene was immaculately constructed and powerful
...but between each scene, was a lull which left the viewer sighing with frustration. there was never any transition in any suitable form.
Emmanuel Lubezki has done some seriously jaw-dropping work for this film.
all in all, i don't regret seeing this movie. in fact i even think this is a must-see for anybody interested in photography or cinematography.
7 out of 10.
