Malick's THE TREE OF LIFE: one theater chain posts an explanatory sign.

I haven't seen Terrence Malick's apparently-impressionistic THE TREE OF LIFE yet, but here's a link to a recent Jeffrey Wells HOLLYWOOD ELSEWHERE post:

Like Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY in 1968, THE TREE OF LIFE is unconventional enough to trigger some audience-member walkouts.  And I guess it's a sad sign of the times that a theater chain felt it had to post a sign of explanation/warning about the film on one of the entrance doors.
