How beautiful it is should go without saying and I actually would have liked it far more had there been no story at all but instead just the scenery accompanied by Ennio Morricone's beautiful score. This is because the story is spread too thin accompanied by a heavy handed voice-over with characters often acting just plain dumb.

Another lyrical film from Malick, with an almost larger-than-life view of these people and their situation in this given time and place, but at the same time the voice-over narration is down to earth, tender and almost naive, a contrast that works great. Not to forget: It's perhaps the most beautifully photographed film I've seen.

Stunning, absolutely gorgeous cinematography, one of the most beautiful films to look at; unfortunately, script is pretty meager and narrative is very sluggish; still, well worth a look.

Excellent this here movie. I don't think it warrants too much in-depth analysis; it's above all a compelling story, told in a compelling way. My only complaint is that some of the young girl's voice-over narration seemed unnecessary, as voice-over narration so often is.

While I think Malick is a talented director I can't say that I got involved in this movie, outside of a few scenes like the locusts or the beginning. It just kind of bored me. Still, it's obvious Malick is a great director so it isn't as low as it could be.

One of the most poetic films ever made, it carries the it's mood right through to the end. Even Richard Gere, looking like he's wandered in from a different movie, can't break the spell or the deserved classic status.

I could have watched those wheat fields to Morricone all day. I guess Malick had to stir things up lest he bewilder 90% of the movie-going public. I wish the plot had the conviction of the mood.

Malick's most complete and satisfying work to date. Where "Badlands" and "The New World" felt more like "style over substance" (though I still love both), "Days of Heaven" explores and embraces diverse subjects like commitment, relationships, life and death, trust and once again, choices people make. The amazing camera work, music and atmosphere made me cherish the film even more. Highly recommended !!!

I would say it's redundant to mention how stunningly and beautifully Days of Heaven is photographed, but it really can't be said enough. What is equally stunning and beautiful, though, is everything else about the film - the poetry of the narration; the wonderful score; the subtle examination of love and trust, of morality and human nature, of life and death. This is one of my favorite movies.
