Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling, Rooney Mara and Natalie Portman star in this rock-n-roll love story from three-time Oscar-nominated filmmaker Terrence Malick.
"In this modern love story set against the Austin, Texas music scene, two entangled couples — struggling songwriters Faye (Mara) and BV (Gosling), and music mogul Cook (Fassbender) and the waitress whom he ensnares — chase success through a rock ‘n’ roll landscape of seduction and betrayal."

No Badlands, but the best of the recent minor Malicks. And it features Val Kilmer with a chainsaw.
Full reviewThe New York Times
"Song to Song" continually flits - like the butterfly seen in one fleeting shot - from theme to theme, from love (always love) to fidelity, betrayal, identity, art, freedom, captivity, forgiveness and mercy.

The Guardian
There are some inspired visual flourishes and it is a film with its own weird stamina and momentum: sometimes exasperating, sometimes mesmeric.

The famous, finely chiseled faces that drift before the camera both fulfill and complicate one of the director's aims, which is to critique the fleeting temptations and soul-crushing consequences of fame, beauty, power and decadence.

Hollywood Reporter
This emotionally challenged romance gives more ammo to those who've turned on the revered auteur.

Empire Magazine
It won't convert the unconvinced, but it is beautiful, melancholic, audacious and well-played, a refinement rather than reinvention of a singular filmmaker.
