I just need a break from Malick.

Using a mix of slow motion, montage, cameos, split screen and more, Malick examines modern day superficiality and the quest for meaning in a flawed yet well-crafted film.

Perhaps only Christopher Guest can pull off an entirely improvised movie. And perhaps Malick should return to scripts, full-volume voiceovers, and more linear storytelling if he doesn't want to Woody Allen himself and push away fans for good.

There's nothing quite like a Malick movie. But once viewers have contemplated the mysteries of the universe itself, perhaps anything else will feel like a step down.

More of the same from Malick, but as thin as it is, this is a trick that still hasn't run its course.

Knight of Cups is a film that feels it has something important to say - much like a twenty-year-old college student who has tried weed for the first time - but in reality, just like said college student, it is speaking nothing but gibberish.
