    “State bird’s a meadowlark.” Merking a girl’s father and immediately leaving her while she’s grieving is….alpha? The music when they first set out is so magical and matched with the shots of nature it’s just so wonderful Caught wearing that hat as an outlaw smh nice French New Wave fit cowboy

    Doesn’t waste time, knows what it is and leaves without overstaying its welcome. Leave it to Terrence Malick, of all directors, to make something feel so sparse but so heavy at the same time. Interesting movie.
