The New World (2005)


The story of the English exploration of Virginia, and of the changing world and loves of Pocahontas.

Subtle, aesthetically unusual, but pleasing exploration of a historic drama, full of memorable moments.

Maltin**1/2: "Ambitious film...Writer-director Malick's third film in 30 years is exquisitely detailed, with a vived sense of time and place and a wonderfully fresh performance by 15-year-old Kilcher as Pocahontas...but it's still a bit like watching paint dry. At least it's beautiful paint."
