Ryan Gosling surfaces like an actor from the feature film called 'Song To Song' which has suitable numbers. The numbers unknown because the visual industry preferences us: to recommend features to friends abroad and in this third world country. Gala like movie with 'Off Beat' or whatever that is screenplay from the Austin, music scene. Grateful to having seen them on a sunny day under a sunny sky; even to a library audience. The feature 'Song To Song' is a strong movie that cannot be ungrateful about. Letting Go because movies like 'Song To Song' need not be without grace and other things like words, expressions and sentences. Review to consider viewing the movie called 'Song to Song'.
This is my first time seeing a Malick film, and at first the thing that grabbed my attention where the places they recorded, they were different in a way, they showed you so many places like it was a documentary and not a movie, and that can work in a way but... in every film the thing that counts the most it's the story, the STORY is everything, but not just that, they way is TOLD. Not just the story went slow and confusing but even the actors talked slowly like we had the time of the world, another thing it's the way they kept repiting the same type of scenes, we got an incredible amount of almost sex- very touchy-romantic scenes between the characters. This is a truly shame because the cast had the talent to do way more, and the places they went where magical!
Most directors turn out some great movies (Bananas, Schindler's List, Dr. Strangelove, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest) and some terrible ones (Everyone Says I Love You, The Lost World, Eyes Wide Shut, Man on the Moon). Some (i.e., John Sayles) consistently turn out good movies, while others (i.e., Paul W.S. Anderson) appear to be on a mission to destroy cinema. But Terrence Malick is one of a kind: he has gotten progressively worse as a director. His debut "Badlands" was a masterpiece. His follow-up "Days of Heaven" was OK, not great. "The Thin Red Line" was well-intentioned but had a too narrow focus. "The New World" was too long and too slow. Malick continues this downward spiral with the forgettable "Song to Song". There's no plot here, just two hours of people thinking things that they want to say to each other. I don't know what possessed Ryan Gosling, Natalie Portman, Michael Fassbender and Rooney Mara to waste their time on something so bland and empty.Basically, it's the sort of pointless movie that you'll need to wash out of your memory with another movie (in my case, I watched "An American Werewolf in London"). Terrence Malick is nothing but a hack. I don't know why anyone finances his pseudo-intellectual Oscar bait wannabe.
No character development and the director is so busy trying to figure out which camera angle to use that you end up nauseous with a headache. It's basically 2 hours and 9 minutes of the characters being overly melodramatic, cuts of sighing with longing expressions and pitiful lines about contemplating the meaning of life that leaves you wanting to take yours.
