The Tree of Life (2011)

Last updated on: October 2, 2012 at 11:26 am By Jeffrey Overstreet

The Tree of Life has quickly become one of the most talked-about movies ever made. And although it isn’t my favorite of Terrence Malick’s films—that distinction belongs to The New World—I’ve been invited to discuss this movie on more occasions than any other movie… so often, in fact, that I’m eager to take a break from the chatter and the movie, let it go for a while, and return to it with fresh eyes someday in the distant future. But... Read more

Be Mindful: Beginners is Coming.

Last updated on: October 2, 2012 at 3:19 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

On Sunday, I had the distinct pleasure and privilege of shaking hands with filmmaker Mike Mills and actor Ewan McGregor, and sitting down with two other journalists (Sarah Fetters and Keith Simanton) to interview them about their new film Beginners, which also stars Christopher Plummer and Melanie Laurent. They were very good company, and I wish our 25 minutes had gone on for an hour. I had a lot of questions for them, because the film really inspired me. Beginners... Read more

Filmwell Returns!

Last updated on: October 2, 2012 at 3:20 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

Over the last week, I’ve been thrilled to see Filmwell – the collaborative and strange film blog for adventurous cinephiles that I started with Michael Leary a couple of years ago – transplanted to a new home base at The Other Journal, an online magazine I’ve admired and enjoyed for a long time. I kicked things off with a “We’re Back!” post, and a few notes on the new Kelly Reichardt film Meek’s Cutoff. But I’m very excited about what... Read more

Wait… Who Gets “Left Behind”?

Last updated on: October 2, 2012 at 3:22 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

My friend Matthew Dickerson, author of Ents, Elves and Eriador: the Environmental Vision of J.R.R.Tolkien and Narnia and the Fields of Arbol: the Environmental Vision of C.S.Lewis, presented this meditation – a challenge to the conventional understanding of “the Rapture” – at a gathering of The Chrysostom Society a couple of years ago. I found it to be quite intriguing. So I’m pleased that Christianity Today has published it for everyone to read. I realized, listening to Dickerson, that many... Read more
