This was way better than Knight of Cups but not as good as Into Wonder. Malick has done his trilogy of perfume adverts - as beautiful looking as they are but lets move on now. Give the man a script.

This movie isn't for everybody

Malick has made the same film twice in a row, here with Fassbender and Gosling instead of Bale, but repeating Portman and Blanchett, for example. A lot of pose, a lot of beautiful photography and, as a novelty, here a lot of modernist residential architecture in the houses facing the exteriors of Los Angeles.

"The world wants to be deceived" Song to Song is not really a movie, but more of an experience. The feeling of adventure and freedom like in most Malick movies. Something I felt was missing from "Knights of Cups". While still not having a straight forward narrative that audience members are gonna hate, just like how Malick isn't for everyone. The film captures life of are characters daily activities, shot a very long time ago.
