The horror! A low IMDb rating for an art house film!

The masses just don't "get" great works of art like The Tree of Life.


I myself like The Tree of Life, at least enough to recommend it with fair warning, but I wouldn't think ill of someone who may not like it or those who don't manage to finish the film. It's rather abstract and non-linear in its narrative (the script is significantly less than the usual 120 pages, double spaced script actors receive).

I never knew people not liking art house films is a sign of the decline of civilization. Heck, I fine myself chuckling seeing people hold so  much stock on art house/indie films as a barometer of fine culture. Pass the wine, puh-lease. The expensive wine.
