Terrance Malick has such somber, slow-moving, hypnotic movies. This film was slow, but short, and wholly melancholic and tragic. People have complained that the love triangle and the emotions that come from it aren't quite fleshed out. I got why Malick kept it all reserved. The point of view is from the young girl and how she observes it all...and the desolation of the vast wheat fields adds to the somber mood and sloth-like advances of the day. I found it intriguing and whimsical.
