Skip it. Terrence Malick's self-indulgent meditation on Hollywood ennui is gorgeous to look at but painfully hollow—and the critics agree, with scores barely above 50 across the board. Unless you're a devoted Malick completist willing to sit through two hours of beautiful emptiness, your time is better spent elsewhere.

Plot

Rick is a screenwriter living in Los Angeles. While successful in his career, his life feels empty. Haunted and confused, he finds temporary solace in the decadent Hollywood excess that defines his existence. Women provide a distraction to his daily pain, and every encounter brings him closer to finding his place in the world.
