Song To Song reviewed by Mark Kermode 

This is my favorite Kermode sub-genre: Murder under 3 minutes. Compact savagery.

"It will be absolutely loved and embraced by goaty beard-wearing chin strokers everywhere" That´s one for the posters

"...this is sixth form essay: the vimeo project" hello, yes, I'd like to report a murder 💀💀

I loved the scenes between Gosling and Fassbender when they were on street drinking, singing and dancing, I haven't seen that much room to play free, for an actor, very often

People, I cried a lot in this movie. Im not sure if I "get it" but somehow it resonated in me. I dont care about de career of malik or justify it for any reason external to the film, it really made me feel but I guess its not for everyone. (Although there really are some extremely cheesy bits)

Wish this one was longer. The salt here is completely delicious.

Thank god for the good doctor! This was so cathartic.

I agree with everything Mark said, but I still love the movie. It's dreamlike entertainment.

Supposedly Malicks next film Radegund is going to have a tight script and linear structure. Hope he can make a comeback.

Haven't seen it but from his last two films, I've noticed the main theme of Malick's latest films is crisis, both spiritual and personal. They're basically films about Malick as a subject. Head spaces that float around intoxicatingly on film. Hugely indulgent and absolutely divisive. I think it'd be stronger criticism to just say that but I'm not a pro critic.

This deserved a 10 minute rant; Kermode's being too kind.

It was like a very very bad car crash in sloooooww motion . Total carnage

Malick was my favourite director for years. I still liked 'The Tree of Life', but it wasn't as good as what preceded it. Then I saw 'Voyage of Time' and 'To the Wonder'. They were the two most boring, senseless films I've seen. Haven't bothered since.

Completely agree, just because Malick's done great work in the past does not by any means make his new films automatic masterpieces, I've found everything he's done after Tree of Life to be indulgent and repetitive.

0:25-0:35 thats every single Terrence Malick film he ever made

Depressing to see where Malick has ended up.

Is it just me or has Michael Fassbender had a pretty dire run in 2017?

It's like many films by Terrence Malick. It needs to be watched and listen to and marveled at for Lubezki's camera work. And it should not be judged

Fassbender is excellent. Shame he's not being put to full potential

*sigh* Kermode even bringing up Nicolas Sparks in the same breath as Malick, really unfortunate he doesn't like Malick's recent stuff, but while it is the weakest between it, To the Wonder and Knight of Cups in that little trilogy (quadrilogy if you include Tree of Life in that stylistic vein, of which I think ToL is weaker) it is still a really solid film I find, need to rewatch it. I think Malick's current naysayers can be mostly too full of themselves and condescending over his recent style, and with Radegund he's supposedly reverting to his more straightforward storytelling and people will probably eat it up all over again and talk about how great he is even though they have no problem ripping his current films to shreds...

The trailer of the film looked absolutely promising (kudos to the people who cut it). I saw it in a small theater and tbh it was so hard to get through. In the last hour people around me and myself started heavy breathing everytime the scene changed again and again to people rolling around in the fields or dancing in the streets. I thought that this must really come close to physical and mental torture. It was like a never-ending repetitive silly soft porn without honest emotions. The scene when the father lies in the bed sick actually really stood out to me as for the first and only time during the film I got the feeling that I'm watching real people.

This is the first movie i have walked out of in a long time and that is a shame because Terrence Malick used to be one of my all time favorite directors. I sat through Jack and Jill, but this i had to get out of.

Felt Mark was about to launch in to a proper rant there, what a shame they didn't have more time.

This is how I felt about Tree of Life.

A perfect review.

"It's been described very adequately as first world problems: the movie" That's so dumb, you could say that about almost any film that isn't about gunslingers or people in dire poverty

*spoiler alert* If a dying father, having to deal with the trauma of being molested as a child, substance abuse, suicide - all are first world problems, then sure Mark, it's a movie about first world problems. Mark comes off as a much more insufferable high-brow snob in this than any of the people he's describing who might've liked it.

You are absolutely right...what a mess!

Walked out of the theater after 35 minutes, what a bore fest.

As an admirer of Malick, he's totally right, I also believe that Song to Song it's his worst film

I still thumbed up though because your Grinch skills are indeed strong.

wibble is a good word

Blimey, this sounds like COVID19 lockdown: the movie.

Will....its not a masterpiece...but to say that is bad ..its also wrong to make a film that embrace the visual storytelling in a way that different is a breath of fresh air

First world problems? Well having a constitution is a good start if other countries want to join in on first world problems. You know people in other countries fall in love to. Some live in nice houses, drive nice cars. I get it. Having to worry where your next meal is coming from is rough. I lived off the McDonald's dollar menu back in the day and I understand that's still like first class service to what many get but I wonder if Mark Commode's ever been in love because it lightens a heavy load in people's lives sometimes. But I will not feel guilty because I live in a "First World." Once people start living successfully the story doesn't end there. It's not like some don't get cancer, break up a relationship ect. I didn't know every movie has to be about maybe someone starving, a war breaks out, some one's car gets repossessed because they can't make the payment. Some people want to be entertained. Enjoy the fruits of their labior. If Mr. Commode cares so much donate your house to someone who needs one. My mission for Mr. Commode is, give yup ye riches and goeth' to live among the poor and become their champion from henceforth!!! Mr. Commode. Your heart is 3 sizes to small!!!

this guy doesn’t know how to review a movie

Terrence Malik is so overrated

This was the worst movie of the year for me. Yes, even with Transformers: The Last Knight and The Book of Henry. I expect more from Malick, but this was only slightly more interesting than staring at a blank screen. It took me three sessions to finish it, and I can usually sit through anything. I am sick of watching beautiful people meander around town, while pretentious voice-over asks faux-philosophical questions... “What are you to me?” “Can love be real?” “When we touch, do you feel it, too?” “What is this love inside of us?” JUST STOP ALREADY!

this ain't it chief

*loooooooooooooooooooool*

Boooooo. This movie is a success

Stay tuned for Terrence Malick's next movie "White People Staring at Each Other part 12".

Excruciatingly pretentious.

1st! Eat it, losers. You snooze, ya looze... lol

What a garbage opinion. This guy's highfalutin whining is far more highfalutin than the actual subject matter he's trying to crap on. Song to Song captures so many things that no other film has ever captured. And so much of it is highly relatable. But just because its decadent also, this guy has to whine about it.

We can't all be right-on lefty, ironic quiff sporting geniuses, Mark.
