The Tree Of Life (2011) Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain, Sean Penn. Okaaaay! I watched this about a month ago and said 'think I better see it again after I think about it a while.' So. I watched it again over the weekend and I guess I'm just not the target audience. It made no sense, unless the mistreatment of children is a theme you like. I must confess, I DVR'd this off HBO so I could see parts over as I went. And I needed to because I kept falling asleep. When a director does that, it is unforgivable, as it was in 1932, and it is in 2012, no matter how beautiful some of the cinematography. Since the actors had hardly any lines to speak, and very little physical acting to do, how are we supposed to assess their performances? All in all, a bad film IMHO. 4/10
