Review of Song to Song (2017) by Jason K — 10 Jul 2017

Unfortunately SONG TO SONG remains a cycle of events with no link. Again, the editor must've had a nightmare trying to piece together a story out of the footage provided, and it's a job I can't comprehend. The original cut of this film clocked in at EIGHT hours long, yet throughout all eight hours there's hardly a story to be found. Malick isn't saying anything. He's directing without purpose. It's fun to watch these actors just exist, but their stories lack depth. They're just all of a sudden in a certain place at a certain time. Every line is a throwaway line. There's beautiful moments scattered throughout, and it is an encapsulation of life itself, but reality doesn't always equal the best movie.
