Terrence Malick's Tree Of Life removed from eligibility for Best Of The Decade lists

As has been typical of projects by reclusive writer/director Terrence Malick, the film Tree Of Life has been shrouded in mystery. It's known that Tree Of Life stars Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, and it's been rumored that the movie is a decade-spanning story about a Midwestern boy searching for meaning in the mid-20th century.
