Malick's Best?

I really liked it and the Sissy character behaves pretty believably.
There really isn't much to the film though, it's just his most coherent story

She just did not seem phased by her dad getting shot. There was no reason for her or the audience to feel resentment toward her dad at that point since the dog killing scene was completely botched by narration. It's definitely coherent alright, to the point of boring.

"Fugate was not there, and after Fugate's mother and stepfather, Velda and Marion Bartlett, told him to stay away, Starkweather killed them with his shotgun, then killed their two-year-old daughter Betty Jean by strangling and stabbing her.[5] After Fugate arrived, they hid the bodies behind the house.

Honestly KNIGHT OF CUPS is his best but you should probably watch DAYS OF HEAVEN next.

I've never seen anyone calling it his best, just his most accessible and traditional. Day of heaven for its golden cinematography and thin red line for its poetic approach to the ww2 genre are typically considered his best and are more philosophical and spiritual than badlands while still retaining universal appeal and Hollywood romanticism. Tree of life is a beautiful film about memories and family. His fans all have different favorites though, even the new world or to the wonder can be considered his best by some. His style and narration can be repetitive but you should see them as attempts to create deep emotional intimacy with the characters, their doubts and passions etc rather than plot exposition.

I tried to find a bad review of it and they just do not exist. Most added that it was their favorite and his best, which is what confused me after viewing. I will try Days of Heaven next.

You know if you watch it knowing what the real life Kit was like, you would hate it even more.
The real life kit was a real piece of shit and the girl was too, he was not a misunderstood youth trying to survive like Malick implied.
I know is not 100% accurate, but Malick goes too far in trying to makes sympathize with them and it just doesn't work in the end.

It has nice cinematography and ok performances but thats it, is probably among Malicks worse.

the tree of life

It's a pretty dream-like spacey film. I went into it expecting that and got just that. I'd probably be pissed if I expected things to be more real life you know

think this film was made solely for people with 100-105 IQ to jerk off over

did you read my whole post you fucking shitwit?

If you think the voice overs are obnoxious in Badlands then I advise you to never watch another Malick film because they're all 10x worse. Especially his more recent films like Tree of Life.
