"For Malick, Man is just a small part of a world which just keeps going round with or without his petty squabbles, crimes, loves, or melodramatic plots."
PopMatters
Brian Holcomb
"The film is unable to overcome the fatal flaw of the three lead's unconvincing acting."
Cinemania
Dan Jardine
"Days of Heaven is a compelling adventure story and a riveting meditation on the soulscape of America."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
2.5/4
"One thing that certainly can be said about Terrence Malick's
Days of Heaven
: it's not sentimental or manipulative. Unfortunately, it's also not particularly involving."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"Simply riveting."
Montreal Film Journal
Kevin N. Laforest
4.5/5
"Every shot is suitable for framing."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
4/4
"To hell with equivocation or beating around the bush: Terrence Malick's 1978
Days of Heaven
is the greatest film ever made."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
"Malick emphasizes both his characters' happiness and ignorance. This dilemma is acknowledged in the title, which implies that for Heaven to be existent so must Hell."
