"A Hidden Life," while showcasing Terrence Malick's lush visual style and distinctive narrative approach, offers a relatively clear and poignant portrayal of Franz Jägerstätter's moral stand against the Nazis. The film’s trance-like presentation and lack of traditional plot highlight Malick’s unique yet polarizing cinematic technique.
