I just worked on a book about Terrence Malick's films. "Tree of Life" was one of the featured films in the book. If you're interested in a scholarly dissection of film you can check out "Terrence Malick and the Thought of Film."
The New York Times just had an Oscar season review: Fugue for History and Memory.
