"An
enigmatic and assiduously reclusive figure, Malick has been
referred to as the J.D. Salinger of the movies. Only recently
did he choose to return to directing after a twenty-year
self-imposed exile from the film world. To date Malick's
directing career encompasses a mere 3 films in 27 years. While
in no way prolific, Malick exemplifies how narrative cinema has
the potential to mesmerise and challenge an audience's
perception of reality."

"Malick
is the modern American cinema's great poet-philosopher, whose
images, painstakingly perfectionist in their historical accuracy
yet imbued with the timelessness of myth, speak of a fascination
with - and perhaps, faith in - the transcendent." -

"Though
he has directed only two feature films, Terrence Malick has
received the kind of critical attention normally reserved for
more experienced and prolific filmmakers. His career reflects a
commitment to quality instead of quantity - an unusual and not
always profitable gamble in the film industry." -

Foreman &
Barton Palmer (The St. James Film Directors Encyclopedia, 1998)

"On the basis of Badlands (73), a brilliantly subtle yet
raw study of psychosis and power, Malick is a promising
filmmaker." -
