"Music plays a much more important role here than do words (there is some voice-over but scarcely any dialogue at all for nearly an hour) whereas the soaring, sometimes grandiose soundtrack -- comprising 35 mostly classical excerpts drawn from Bach, Brahms, Berlioz, Mahler, Holst, Respighi, Gorecki and others in addition to the contributions of Alexandre Desplat -- dominates in the way it often did in Stanley Kubrick’s work."
"Voice-over snippets suggestive of states of mind register more importantly than dialogue, and both are trumped by the diverse musical elements and the rumblings and murmurs of nature, which have all been blended in a masterful sound mix. Emmanuel Lubezki outdoes himself with cinematography of almost unimaginable crispness and luminosity."

"When the film opens, the O’Briens are suffering the loss of their middle child, receiving a telegram that he has died at the tender age of nineteen. Mrs. O’Brien is devastated asking, “Lord why? Where were you?” Malick uses this moment of death to circle back to the origins of the universe. While the loss of the child is monumental, Malick mourns that pain but also wants us to see the glory of the world that is around us and how little we are in the grand scope of things. This sequence—which runs in the first third of the film and undoubtedly made some distributors nervous—is an entirely wordless, evocative, music-filled and beautifully realized piece of filmmaking."

"The Tree Of Life is so pretentious, and utterly devoid of any sincerity or inducement of any emotion at all (apart from the music) that it cannot be classified as entertaining."

"For a grand finale, Malick takes on the challenge of depicting the afterlife, including its beach-property real estate, its promise of peace and love, and its excellent playlist of fine classical music, particularly the soaring Agnus Dei from Hector Berlioz’s Requiem, Opus 5."
