The New World isn't Terrence Malick's best, but it's guiding him in the right direction.
Dana Stevens, Slate
Fresh
The New World laps over its audience like water on a deserted beach, moving so quietly that you almost don't notice that it's enveloped you.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Rotten
The New World is stately almost to the point of being static and thus has trouble finding a central story around which to arrange itself; it's not quite the thin dead line, but it's close.
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Rotten
He [Malick] swoons for his own well-honed image as a painter of woodland idylls, a man who leaves no sway of wheat or ripple of water unmet by his fatherly gaze.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
