Seems it got a pretty good response from critics on rotten tomatoes (85%), with the general public less favourable at 65%. I agree it is far from perfect, and tries a little too hard. Some have called it 'pretentious'.<br />http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_tree_of_life_2011/comments.php?reviewid=1990643Marcus T.

I've liked the previous four Terrence Malick films that I've seen, so this had a lot to live up to. Fortunately, I saw it with a movie discussion group, so we discussed this movie afterwards. I'll probably watch it again on DVD just to see if a second viewing enhances my understanding of the film. Your review is probably the best one I've read on the film.
