A movie you should see: The Tree of Life

I feel like I need to recommend a film to everyone. The Tree of Life is truly something different. I was following its production for three years and it's finally coming out after enormous efforts from some of the top artists in the industry, many of them being idols of mine.
For anyone who likes Kubrick's 2001, this should appeal to you. If you are an action-only kind of fan, it likely won't.
Here is a trailer. It starts playing wider in early July.

Synopsis:
The impressionistic story of a Texas family in the 1950s. The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Jack (played as an adult by 'Sean Penn' ) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith.
