The Tree of Life
....maybe i wasn't in the right mood for this. dinosaurs? really? seemed like they could have done something decent with the father/son family component. instead they just showed (beautiful) scenery with obscure lines being whispered by the characters. artistic? sure, whatever. but you can't just assemble a playlist of heavy choral music with abstract, confusing images and plot line, drag it on for 2 and a half hours (because it's not legit unless it's unnecessarily long) and expect me to instantly adore it for its uniqueness. i'm sure this will trigger the classic "you're just too dumb to get it" retort. woof.
