Yeah the blind nostalgia is annoying.

To be honest I really liked Tree of Life, I think the movie does make sense, but is too ambitious for its own good and not very friendly with the viewer as it demands a lot of patience, open mind and lots of attention. Ultimately the film fall short of its ambitions because they are just insanely big and the way is made comes as confusing for most of the public so at the end the movie seems to be too pretentious, and it may be a pretentious film, but I think what achieves is still wonderful, its cinematography is ridiculously beautiful and it made me think deeply about life. That said I completely understand why people dislikes it, and I don't think they are necessarily wrong for that as it's a pretty love or hate it kind of experience.

Tbh, I didn't understand anything about the film. It was really beautiful and well directed (I really liked that "documentary" about life scene), but I just couldn't put all the pieces together. I still don't see the relation between all the film parts XD. But, yeah, I know a lot of people who really love the film, and some people hate it. It was always gonna be a very polarized reception.
