    A must for the world to not forget what a dictator, ruler can and will do to history. People are not recognizing evil when it is seen today. Our moral compass must always be in check.

    This almost felt like days of heaven a bit, mostly in the fields, but it's completely different, a bit long, but good

    Terrace Malick is truly a great filmmaker but is really boring for under 3 hours film beautiful shot and great strong leading performance but you will feal to sleep until is almost over.

    "A cathedral of the sense" - an apt remark I once read about this wonderful soul prodding piece of true cinema A hidden life truly took me on a journey beginning in WW2 Germany with its intense intro to the rise of Hitler's rule as well as its showcasing of rural soulful farming life. The journey made us feel the pure untainted joy that permeated the beings of these real people's lives. Franz's struggle of having to sacrifice everything he holds dear in the physical world to maintain dominion over his soul is an enchanting depiction of what it truly means to be in alignment with true divinity. Love for all - Your family, Your friends, Your community and especially mankind as a whole is what I was again reminded is the highest arena of thought. Beautiful movie, would definitely recommend to all.

    A movie about true caracter and the will to stand against all evil that wants to tear your principles down. With an amazing view, this film is like a fresh breath for the soul and call for awakening in these times. I finished it being different, a lot different than I was before watching it.

    Yes it’s beautifully shot, but it’s sooo long and meandering… It does however, make you wonder just how many “conscientious objectors” we get in times of war… Hacksaw Ridge has a similar theme, and it’s a better movie.

    Visually stunning, and heartbreaking, the best film I've seen this year. It stayed in my minds for weeks afterwards.

    Its poetic nature, empathy evoked by the poignant philosophical narrative, and James Howard's music strike right at the heart. When a film elicits such a powerful catharsis that you can barely hold back tears, writing anything more becomes futile.

    Malick complicates the narrative in so many interesting ways that I just don't think I want or need to see a more straightforward biopic about this man.
