5. The Tree of Life
Where do we begin? Terrence Malick's sumptuous, sprawling epic grapples with mysteries both massive (the birth of the universe) and intimate (the loss of a child). But once The Tree of Life settles on the suburban struggles of a Texas family circa 1950, Malick makes what our critic recognizes as "his most personal film by quite some margin." And the end result "obliterated me almost immediately, only to eventually return me to a corporeal state, just in time for the closing credits."
