The Tree of Life

...is a film of vast ambition and deep humility, attempting no less than to encompass all of existence and view it through the prism of a few infinitesimal lives.

There is simply nothing like it out there: profound, idiosyncratic, complex, sincere and magical; a confirmation that cinema can aspire to art.

...it’s a genuine attempt to grasp the transcendent, and the rare religious film that deserves to be called spiritual.

'The Tree of Life' insisterer på at blive set på sine egne vilkår. Nægter man dét, nægter man sig selv den dybeste oplevelse.

...something far beyond the ordinary.
