Another flawed but fascinating reframing of man’s place in the modern world. Full Review
Even hardened arthouse film lovers may find Knight of Cups way out of their comfort zone. Full Review
This episode has an empty tank. Full Review
As the film just keeps offering more of the same... it doesn't build or pay off with what it seems designed to do... Full Review
There are moments of visual brilliance here, moments of reverence and even grandeur. Full Review
The result is ludicrous self-parody - somewhere between a Calvin Klein aftershave advertisement and a coffee-table book about the modernist mansions of the rich and famous. Full Review
It is an elegant and strikingly shot film that revels in a series of wonderfully shot locations ... and will likely enrapture fans of Malick's very individual style. Full Review
