Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Blistering performances.

Ryan Gosling surfaces like an actor from the feature film called 'Song To Song' which has suitable numbers. The numbers unknown because the visual industry preferences us: to recommend features to friends abroad and in this third world country. Gala like movie with 'Off Beat' or whatever that is screenplay from the Austin, music scene. Grateful to having seen them on a sunny day under a sunny sky; even to a library audience. The feature 'Song To Song' is a strong movie that cannot be ungrateful about. Letting Go because movies like 'Song To Song' need not be without grace and other things like words, expressions and sentences. Review to consider viewing the movie called 'Song to Song'.

..this film is a prime example why you should never watch a movie any other way than streaming.. ..over your lifetime you'll save HUGE amounts of precious time.....at 129 minutes in length... if you jump every couple minutes or so... in 60 clicks you can pretty much view this entire thing.. ..and will not have missed very much in the process....loads of hi-end talent gone to waste in this muddled production.. with a script.. well there really isn't much of one... ...just loads of edited 'artistic' filming... can easily see why it took years to put together after shooting.... it will probably still make money.. as die-hard fans will be keen to roll the dice.. most will not be thrilled..

Most directors turn out some great movies (Bananas, Schindler's List, Dr. Strangelove, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest) and some terrible ones (Everyone Says I Love You, The Lost World, Eyes Wide Shut, Man on the Moon). Some (i.e., John Sayles) consistently turn out good movies, while others (i.e., Paul W.S. Anderson) appear to be on a mission to destroy cinema. But Terrence Malick is one of a kind: he has gotten progressively worse as a director. His debut "Badlands" was a masterpiece. His follow-up "Days of Heaven" was OK, not great. "The Thin Red Line" was well-intentioned but had a too narrow focus. "The New World" was too long and too slow. Malick continues this downward spiral with the forgettable "Song to Song". There's no plot here, just two hours of people thinking things that they want to say to each other. I don't know what possessed Ryan Gosling, Natalie Portman, Michael Fassbender and Rooney Mara to waste their time on something so bland and empty.Basically, it's the sort of pointless movie that you'll need to wash out of your memory with another movie (in my case, I watched "An American Werewolf in London"). Terrence Malick is nothing but a hack. I don't know why anyone finances his pseudo-intellectual Oscar bait wannabe.

Mostly I try to watch the movies of Terrence Malick and they like this one "Song to Song" are about thought as they are long and drawn out stories of life and choices with interactions as love and interest change with people as much of it is about location and timing.Set in Austin, Texas this picture revolves around the young alternative music scene in which two struggling songwriters BV(Ryan Gosling)and Faye(Rooney Mara)are trying their best to break into the music business with the help from a mogul named Cook(Michael Fassbender). Thru it all the lives of each are turned upside down as to begin with BV and Faye have a relationship that's intimate with sex yet things change when BV returns to an ex flame and Faye starts to explore and try to find out who she is in the bedroom as she runs an experimentation with another woman for some hot passionate sex! Now Cook tries his shake with Rhonda(Natalie Portman) a young waitress yet nothing doesn't really go to float. Thru it all each character makes a discovery about life, love, people, as the experimentation and intersection with one another all leads to a mix of seduction and betrayal as each learn the game of life and see what's in it for them as BV returns to his blue collar roots and leaves the music business.Overall long take and spin on interaction, experimentation, and life choices proving that chance, timing, luck, location and passion all play a part in shaping one as life can be a fun experiment.
