Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Tree of Life (2011)

Not exactly a pretentious piece of crap, but it’s DEFINITELY pretentious.

Huge parts of it seemed like bigger-budgeted versions of those "how life began" films you see at a science center or a presentation of “our amazing oceans.” And the parts that weren't universe/nature based were disjointed.

The whole thing was a gorgeous chore.
