Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Sean P. Means (2,056) for Salt Lake Tribune (1,927) on 25 Mar 2016

It's up to the audience to assign meaning to [Malick's] cinematic musings - which, as with his 2012 drama To the Wonder, are rambling to the…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Armond White (604) for National Review (314) on 23 Mar 2016

We desperately need a reminder that the film industry still comprises human beings with recognizable histories - and souls…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Gary Dowell (222) for Dark Horizons (452) on 18 Mar 2016

Muddled, aimless, indecipherable, and shallow, Terence Malick's Knight of Cups is one of the most insufferable slogs in recent cinema…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Charles Ealy (164) for Austin American-Statesman (501) on 18 Mar 2016

Malick is undoubtedly one of America's most talented directors. His admirers will find much to like here. His detractors won't…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Tom Meek (408) for Cambridge Day (227) on 18 Mar 2016

What ultimately elevates Knight of Cups above the similarly slight and indulgent To the Wonder are the performances…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Chris Knight (998) for National Post (1,405) on 18 Mar 2016

The overall tone is serious, even sombre, with koan-like lines and images that will linger long after the screen fades to black;…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Beth Accomando (509) for KPBS.org (509) on 18 Mar 2016

Definitely not a film for everyone and it's not meant to be. But for those of us who worship in Malick's cinematic temple, it rewards our faith…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Stephen Silver (684) for EntertainmentTell (372) on 18 Mar 2016

Full of beautiful images and good acting performances, but its experimental and abstract structure gets very tiresome, very quickly (Splice Today)…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Bruce Demara (410) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 17 Mar 2016

Virtually every scene is delivered through a gauzy cinematic curtain that obscures rather than elucidates, and we never come close to penetrating…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Marjorie Baumgarten (1,950) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 17 Mar 2016

There’s no denying the poetry at work in his film, but so much of it is inchoate and fundamentally sexualized that it becomes more of a turn-off…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Radheyan Simonpillai (471) for NOW Toronto (1,621) on 16 Mar 2016

Malick captures fleeting moments and ethereal visions and lets them swirl alongside the remnants of a shredded script like confetti in a vacuum…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Jon Espino (144) for The Young Folks (1,024) on 12 Mar 2016

Knight of Cups is about the world-weary traveler, but may prove too mentally exhausting for them to enjoy…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Robert Horton (590) for HeraldNet (Everett, WA) (288) on 11 Mar 2016

A typically fragmented film from Terrence Malick, about a screenwriter (Christian Bale) in a spiritual crisis…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By David Ehrlich (1,229) for Slate (2,081) on 11 Mar 2016

Malick has moved from self-discovery to self-affirmation; he knows exactly what he’s looking for, and Knight of Cups, for all its splendor,…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Joshua Starnes (554) for ComingSoon.net (2,031) on 11 Mar 2016

Beautiful and dreamlike but sometimes feels like a parody of Malick's other, better work…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Mark Dujsik (2,093) for Mark Reviews Movies (2,037) on 11 Mar 2016

Knight of Cups features Malick at his most worldly in a while, which isn't a problem, yet it also shows the filmmaker at his most materialistic,…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Travis Hopson (923) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 11 Mar 2016
