“With the corpse of a nightmare called Knight of Cups, I have finally given up on Terrence Malick. This dog of a film is as riveting and fascinating as a walk-in bathtub. Wafting across the Nevada desert at dusk like Sean Penn in the abominable Tree of Life, Mr. Bale looks blank as a cardboard UPS box. Inconclusive with knuckleheaded indecision like Ben Affleck in the paralyzing tedium of To the Wonder, he loses the audience through the looking glass before you can open your popcorn bag and mutter “Come back, Alice, all is forgiven.” After a lot of inarticulate gibberish about a pearl, a cup and a prince who can’t awaken from a deep sleep, Mr. Bale’s beach condo is hit by a hurricane [sic].  At least Quentin Tarantino would have shown us some skin.”

“What I realized was, Malick loves to be on his feet and just making movies,” Lennon said. “I don’t mean the editing, just the location, shooting a scene, and letting things happen. I mean, it was honestly an absolutely batshit crazy day. But I would have instantly come back and done it another day if the opportunity came up.”
~ Thomas Lennon On Working With Terrence Malick
