NP - Terrence Malick SUCKS!

[David Morris]

Review of his 1978 "Days of Heaven."

"Some complained about that at the time -- that the film was gorgeous but
insufficiently developed as human drama, that characters were cyphers, that
the technique was "intolerably artsy" and "artificial.""

Sounds like things were ever so with Malick.
