Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   B+ Source Brief Review Grade* Atlanta Journal-Constitution Bob Longino "...more an ethereal cinematic tone poem than plot-driven story." more... B+ Boston Globe Ty Burr "Self-indulgent, gorgeous, maddening, grueling, ultimately transcendent, it's a Terrence Malick movie all the way..." more... A   Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "The New World is Pocahontas' story, although the movie deliberately never calls her by any name. She is the bridge between the two peoples." more... A   Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips "The film, which is superb on every technical and design level, has both greatness and fuzzy-headedness in it." more... A- E! Online "...newcomer Q'Orianka Kilcher might be the most sultry cinematic historical figure to date." more... B   Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum "...magnificent (and magnificently flawed) ..." more... A- filmcritic.com Chris Barsanti "...has all the negatives of Thin Red Line (rambling story, little realistic character interaction) and too few of its positives." more... B- Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt "An evocative yet slow-moving exploration of the Pocahontas myth." more... B   New York Post Lou Lumenick "...this lavish coffee-table-book of a movie gradually reveals itself as an uninvolving, crashing bore." more... C   New York Times Manohla Dargis "In Mr. Malick's telling, Pocahontas is a woman whose story has the reach of myth and the tragic dimension of life." more... A- ReelViews James Berardinelli "For the most part, I found The New World to be absorbing. There was not a lot of watch watching." more... B   Rolling Stone Peter Travers "...Malick brings his film very close to a state of grace." more... A- San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "In its emotional effect and in the ways it makes its points, this motion picture is much more akin to poetry or music." more... A   Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "...a richly textured, leisurely paced, visually impressionistic epic of the American past that fairly hypnotizes the viewer with its tapestry of sights, sounds and colors." more... A- USA Today Claudia Puig "...feels glacially paced." more... C   * Yahoo! Movies converts each critic's published rating into a letter grade. If the critic's review does not include a rating, Yahoo!
