WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Terrence Malick is back with yet another experimental project of surreal imagery and philosophical ponderings, which is great for fans of this side of the notoriously-private director but not so much for those that are seriously fed up with this phase of his.
