"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." - Peter
Homden (Contemporary North American Film Directors, 2002) |

"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." - Geoff
Andrew (The Director's Vision, 1999) |

"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." - Alexa
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." -
William R. Meyer (The Film Buff's Catalog, 1978) |
