Terrence Malick Has Released A New Version Of ‘The Tree Of Life’ – And He May Never Be Entirely Finished With It

“The new [Criterion] release features two versions of the picture — the 139-minute, Oscar-nominated 2011 theatrical cut and a new, 188-minute extended edition. This longer edit, however, is not a ‘director’s cut,’ although Malick himself prepared it.” Bilge Ebiri explains what all this means.
