Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

Above all one of the most beautiful films ever made. Malick's purpose is not to tell a story of melodrama, but one of loss. His tone is elegiac. He evokes the loneliness and beauty of the limitless Texas prairie. (Review of December 7, 1997)Read the full review

A dramatically moving and technically breathtaking American art film, one of the great cinematic achievements of the 1970s. (Review of Original Release)Read the full review

The New York Times | Elvis MitchellAdd Critic to Favorites

As haunting as its vision of a crystal glass dropped into moonlit water. It lives up to its title. (Reviewed in 1999)Read the full review

The film has too much surface beauty not to earn it a recommendation, but Days of Heaven satisfies only on a sensory level. (Review of Original Release)Read the full review
