The Tree of Life

An impressionistic portrait of a Texas family in the 1950s follows an eldest son from childhood into adulthood. As he reflects on a difficult relationship with his father and the loss that shaped his family, he searches for meaning, faith, and his place in the wider universe.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy patient, visually poetic films about family, faith, and existence, such as Melancholia; Not for you if you want a straightforward plot, brisk pacing, or clear explanations.
