To The Wonder (was on ntflx I think) // and yes  srch page  14 hits Malick :     Critics drew extensive comparisons to the work of Terrence Malick     looks derivative, with the familiar lens flare and sunset wash. But if it is a homage, this is an intelligent and accomplished one, a conscientious matching-up of style and substance.                        is no Malick homage. far from dwelling on transcendence, as Malick does, Lowery's film has a solid, grounded storyline, rooted in crime thrillers and film noir tradition.        the comparisons to Terrence Malick are obvious and many—and a well-deserved compliment—   the setting of 1970s Texas, the impressionistic wisps of memory, the quiet naturalism of warm sunlight and the dusky magic-hour melancholy—they're all there, all those signatures that are reminiscent of the master filmmaker.       / negative:  upstart David Lowery mimics the mythic methodology of his revered elder, drowning the sparse tale of an on-the-run convict and his lonely baby's mama in lots of dreamy, magic-hour atmosphere.’  / ~ y but I may not mind
