Review=A Hidden Life is a movie starring August Diehl, Valerie Pachner, and Maria Simon. The Austrian Franz Jägerstätter, a conscientious objector, refuses to fight for the Nazis in World War II. actor=Maria Simon, Valerie Pachner. . Terrence Malick. release date=2019. Terrence Malick.

As it turns out, if Terrence Malick is working from at least some semblance of a script or firm story, he can do some pretty good things!
A Hidden Life is an intimate, spiritual epic that can mostly stand alongside Scorsese's Silence as far as films from this decade that are somewhat punishing but immensely rewarding for the (dont laugh) fulfillment they do for one's soul and sense of what our place is in a world that has beliefs and allegiances. This is as mesmerizing as anything Malick has ever directed, and when the poetry of it all clicks it's him firing on all of his cylinders, and in this case it is about a person's moral position and (see if this sounds is familiar) not pledging allegiance to tyranny and oppression, while at the same time connecting it to how one's mind connects to memory and to the natural world.
The one downside, at least on a first viewing, is that it runs too long, and there needed to be an editor or two with more gumption to say that just five or ten minutes could be lost (like, we get it after the first ten minutes of prison suffering, do we need ten more? All this said, it packs a wallop on equal intellectual and emotional ground, and while I may criticize the length I can't overlook how stunning many of the transitions and match cuts do their work to create connections and bonds between this man and wife and with the mountains and water and sea. More often than not this touches one as a lyrical and as a dark existential fable, with a commanding performance from August Diehl at its center.
Frankly, I think this film should be made more available than Disney - nay Fox Searcglight - has been doing, whether by their lack of support or lack of "bankable" talent. Id even go as far as to say if it was there in more rural parts of the U.S., where some young or even older person might wander in and be affected by the themes of standing up to the worst in humanity (even if, especially if, it may cost all.
