Review by Library Journal Review

Between the increasingly polarizing auteur Terrence Malick's early masterworks (Badlands; Days of Heaven) and his recent cinematic tone poems (To the Wonder; Knight of Cups) comes this exquisitely shot amalgam of narrative storytelling and stream-of-consciousness filmmaking. Nature is as much the star as are Colin Farrell, Christian Bale, et al., as Jamestown settlers forging an uneasy alliance with a tribal chief and his daughter, Pocahontas (a marvelously naturalistic Q'orianka Kilcher). A stunningly remastered extended cut (one of three versions included) makes for a wonderful World. [Trailers, LJ 6/1/16] © Copyright 2016.
