Badlands Reviews

Very odd. I loved the narration and the contrast between it and what was actually happening in the movie. Lots of really cool shots. Kit’s hot.

This movies nuts
Great acting, score, pacing, dialogue, and narration. Somehow quite funny, especially the dialogue.
Kit’s a cool cat
You can tell True Romance took heavy inspiration from this, especially with the music. (This is far better though)
Shes pretty
Mesmerizing watch

I actively watched people fall asleep to this movie

terrence malick’s terrific debut, a charismatic and detached crime film with gorgeous visuals, a simple yet effective narrative, and a pair of phenomenal leads in martin sheen and sissy spacek. you’ll be rooting for them the whole way through

10/10

Great performances but wasn’t entertaining. True Romance is based on it so I’ll give it some cred

Sissy and Martin go all Bonnie and Clyde. A bit grainy now 6.5/10 👍

A phenomenal debut film from Terence Malick. A film that explores the glorification of outlaws and why America was so obsessed with them. Perfect movie

nice little Bonnie and Clyde story from Terrance Malek, I think it could have been a masterpiece but its a little stiff in some ways

Not what I expected- but did enjoy

Amazing performances from both leads. It’s strangely funny, that might just be my interpretation. Characters are quite often very simplistic and organised, in a good way. The dynamic works very well and the narration feels fitting. Beautiful score as well

A little underwhelming for a debut, but still worth a watch

How many bullets was Kit carrying on him? Damn

Probably Terrance Malik’s best; I’ve never been a fan of his work, but this one’s different. There’s a normal amount of dialogue in it instead of having little to none. It’s very well shot but isn’t solely about the visuals. It’s vivid the inspirations this had on True Romance.

Very weird case that is probably gonna be studied for years. There's no way to know if she actually was involved in the murders or not, but her being only 14 at the time, it's hard to fully fault her for staying, even if she didnt kill anyone
