REVIEW: TO THE WONDER To the Wonder is only the sixth feature film in filmmaker Terrence Malick's forty-year-long career. Known for taking several years in between projects, Malick has seemingly rushed his latest to the screen only two years after the alternately challenging, pretentious, baffling, beautiful, and altogether polarizing tone poem The Tree of Life. Daunting or not, this largely incoherent mood opus might be Malick in his purest form — a minimalistic plot, existential themes, philosophical whispered voice-overs, impressionistic cinematography of nature, and classical music. Seeing a more gorgeous-looking film this year is predicted to be impossible, but to watch To the Wonder is to have visual beauty and poetry wash over you and not feel a real sense of meaning or purpose.
