Trailer: Terence Malick’s “To the Wonder”

YouTube video

Terence Malick’s latest film features an American (Ben Affleck) who falls in love with a French woman and a priest (Javier Bardem) who undergoes a crisis of faith.

IndieWire calls it “Malick’s most accessible work in years” while the Hollywood Reporter pans it as “inert” and “enervating.” The  Guardian’s  Peter Bradshaw  writes : “At its best, Malick’s cinematic rhapsody is glorious; during his uncertain moments, he appears to be repeating himself. But what delight there is in this film.”
