After three films, the auteur's habit of employing the most attractive of movie stars as leads while 'real' people and members of ethnic groups are used as exotic props has seriously diluted the impact of the work's promise of transcendence and salvation.

Terrence Malick's latest film isn't so much a movie as it is a freeform collection of whispers and beseeching looks.

"Song to Song" isn't the sleepy disappointment Malick's last two films were, but it's hard not to wish he'd wake up.

Less a movie than a year's subscription to Architectural Digest crammed into a 130-minute montage.

The failure of Song to Song lies in the chasm that continues to widen between Terrence Malick's directing style and the scope of the narrative he wishes to take on.

The haughtily unenlightened can joke and snipe and snore all the want. As evinced by Song to Song, Malick is operating in top form. If only we'd be bothered to do the work of making sense of it.

This is the one with Ryan Gosling, and like Terrence Malick's two previous dramas it's a gauzy, improvised affair that looks like a photo essay out of Architectural Digest and regards its gorgeous, murmuring actors as if they were statuary.

The lack of a strong storyline and strong narrative did not make Song To Song as enjoyable of an experience as I had hoped.

Everyone wants to get inside the other, live inside the other's warm soul for a brief moment of connection and comfort. But they're all such airy characters, they breeze through the spaces like so many familiar, almost stereotypical spectres.

"Song to Song" is Terrence Malick's first truly awful film.

The scenery is more interesting than the movie stars moving through it -- until we're blessed by this Malick movie's version of a priest: punk rock high priestess Patti Smith.

It's a haunting, doleful meditation on sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, the type of movie that can deeply move you and leave you wondering why.
