Why watch the movie The Tree of Life?
"Named one of the 100 best films of the century by The New York Times. How can a film capture eternity and the communion of our souls with the universe? That’s precisely the aim of filmmaker Terrence Malick (The Thin Red Line), and the result is a true work of art, rightfully awarded the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Starring Jessica Chastain, Sean Penn, and Brad Pitt, the film seeks to evoke the wonder of existing within the vastness of the universe and finding meaning in our personal legacy. It’s more about feeling than telling a single story, and it demands patience for Malick’s signature meditative pace. The reward, however, lies in its absolute visual and sonic beauty — the cinematography by Mexican master Emmanuel “El Chivo” Lubezki will stay etched in your memory."

'The Tree of Life' is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950's. The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father. Jack finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. Through Malick's signature imagery, we see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our lives as individuals and families, but all life.
