8/10
A unique experience, some will love it, some will hate it.

Brad Pitt and up and coming actress Jessica Chastain (Take Shelter, The Debt) play a typical 1950's couple in Tree of Life. But don't let this fool you! About 45% of the movie is of something else. That being beautiful cinematography of the earth, in all it's forms.

I believe the director is trying to evoke special feelings about the circle of life. This movie reminds me of something from Richard Kelly(Donnie Darko), or a Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan) film. There are also some timeless special effects that contribute to these feelings and take the movie to another level. I get a lot of feelings about being a kid, which is cool too. Within the story there are a lot of "bad" kids that remind me of my child hood. It's kind of cool, it was like watching my past. Hopefully you will be able to relate.

To make Tree more complex hidden messages are prevalent- one reason this movie is good. You can get a lot from it if you're the kind of person analyzes things like myself.

Viewers who want to be force fed sex and action will hate this movie with a passion!

This movie is very slow, but also love making beautiful.
