Review of The New World (2005) by Brandon S — 12 Mar 2016
Visually moving and powerfully acted (this is the first time I've ever bought the relationship between John Smith and Pocahontas), but ultimately not quite at home in Malick's style. This feels like someone trying to turn a commercial film into a Malick picture.
However, a Malick picture hidden under thin layers of convention is still a Malick picture, and this one is still spectacular.
