Roger Ebert
It’s one of the year’s best and most distinctive movies, though sure to be divisive, even alienating for some viewers, in the manner of nearly all Malick’s films to one degree or another.

Decent Films
An ecstatic, anguished three-hour cinematic hymn, Terrence Malick’s A Hidden Life sings the life and death of Blessed Franz Jägerstätter in asymmetrical binary form, in contrasting theologies — theology and anti-theology — of the body.

Deep Focus Review
But the film has a stirring message—undeniable in our present, analogous condition of rising fascism that has set the world ablaze, just as it had done in the 1930s—that even the smallest protest can have meaning, even if it exists solely within.

Common Sense Media
Disturbing Nazi footage. Soldiers practice with guns and bayonets. Guard viciously beats up prisoner. Threatening farmers... Character sentenced to death.

Vanity Fair
There’s something unusually powerful about A Hidden Life, Terrence Malick’s spacious new chronicle of the conscientious objector Franz Jägerstätter, whose refusal to swear an oath of loyalty to Hitler and the Third Reich... resulted in his execution in 1943.

Rotten Tomatoes
A Hidden Life is a refusal to accept violence and depravity as man’s natural state. That in the larger scheme of things, this steadfast dedication to one’s moral causes, unwavering in their fortitude, will outlast any temporary evil.

IMDb
"I am just floored and overwhelmed by the visual poetry and spiritual magnitude of it all. It feels transcendent."
