As their relationship wanes and her visa nears expiration, Neil’s entanglements with Marina and childhood sweetheart Jane forces him to consider different kinds of love. Should the commitment he has made be undertaken as a duty, sometimes full of effort? Or should we accept that love often changes, and doesn’t always last? Can sorrow bind lovers more tightly than joy?
In March's edition of Sight & Sound (The BFIs monthly film magazine) To The Wonder was Film of the week! The full article can be found here but I feel it is this line which sums up the journey of both the article and film 'The film leaves us with this longing vantage, in a state of perpetual, unfulfilled becoming. That is to say it leaves us precisely where we are – but we are not the same.'
The all star cast includes Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams and Javier Bardem. All three portray deep and interesting characters. Which are seen within these film which contains familiar Malick touches - fragmentary narrative, impressionistic visuals and a poetic voiceover.
*You have to accept Malick on his own terms, and for those who do, To The Wonder will feel like a tall pitcher of Long Island Iced Tea on a hot summer's day: glistening, sweet and restorative.* Daily Telegraph
*100 per cent pure, unadulterated Malick, an absorbing, thoughtful, moving meditation on the things that matter.* Empire Magazine
