Review by Library Journal Review

Before he started making less accessible films that played like narrative poetry (The Tree of Life; Into the Wonder), Terrence Malick made more approachable narratives suffused with poetic imagery, such as Days of Heaven and this, his feature-film debut. With the infamous 1958 Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate murder spree as inspiration, a very young Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek shine so brightly as outlaw lovers-on-the-run. Digitally restored, this near-masterpiece is essential viewing for all. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
