I would've thought TTRL had too much straight narrative for your tastes.
I think it's the perfect middle ground for Malick. More ethereal and fluid than Badlands, but not as a meandering, repetitive, and generally bullshitty as To the Wonder. I think Malick needs a little narrative grounding so he doesn't get lost in himself.
Ranking Malick:
1. Badlands (A+)
2. Tree of Life (A-)

3. Days of Heaven (B-)

4. To the Wonder (C-)

I thought Tree of Life would be too polarizing a film to ever be given a B-.
