Song to Song (2017)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Admirable film.

I am so disappointed in Rooney Mara for participating in this monumental waste of talent. The only reason I made it to the end is just to watch Rooney Mara, one of the most unique and beautiful actresses today. I know that she is better than this, I've seen incredible acting from her in other films. I know none of this matters to most of you but I said my piece. Don't waste your time on this movie!

The only thing good one can say about Song to song it is it is not the abject failure of Thin Red Line. It is fairly obvious what Malik is doing with Song to Song, it is, like Knight of Cups, self referential blaming of his failure on externalities. That is pitiful enough. AT least is not as abjectly laughable as Thin Red Line, which managed to hit a trifecta of destroying the lessons and point of view of one of the best novelized portray of combat, ignore Jones point of the brutality AND necessity of that war and combine that all with abject absurd combat scenes.

BV (Ryan Gosling) and Faye (Rooney Mara) are musicians. Cook (Michael Fassbender) is a producer. Rhonda (Natalie Portman) is a waitress. BV has a fling with Amanda (Cate Blanchett) and Faye with Zoey. These relationships start, conflict, stop, and detour in the Austin music scene.Terrence Malick continues to make these beautiful-looking dreamlike movies. It's beyond beauty but the story telling is muddled. His style of filmmaking is deliberately disjointed which makes all these complicated relationships hard to follow. It's also emotionally distant. Mara and Gosling have these droning voices which don't help in this case. It's a beautiful movie but the complicated relationship jumping loses me along the way. There is a bit guerrilla filmmaking as Malick steals scenes during real music festivals. This would work much better with fewer relationships.

..this film is a prime example why you should never watch a movie any other way than streaming.. ..over your lifetime you'll save HUGE amounts of precious time.....at 129 minutes in length... if you jump every couple minutes or so... in 60 clicks you can pretty much view this entire thing.. ..and will not have missed very much in the process....loads of hi-end talent gone to waste in this muddled production.. with a script.. well there really isn't much of one... ...just loads of edited 'artistic' filming... can easily see why it took years to put together after shooting.... it will probably still make money.. as die-hard fans will be keen to roll the dice.. most will not be thrilled..
