    Like Malick's "Days of Heaven," it is not about plot, but about memory and regret. It remembers a summer that was not a happy summer, but there will never again be a summer so intensely felt, so alive, so valuable.

    It's at once brilliant and inept.

    Well done,but definitely overrated. I find DGG's movie have great characters in plots that are threadbare.
