The Criterion Collection released an alternate version in September 2018. In the new version of the film, 188-minute The Tree of Life which is labeled as extended cut, new material comes in the form of new shots and scenes spread throughout the film. It involves a visit from the family of Mrs. O'Brien and an expansion of what happens when Mr. O'Brien travels abroad and Chastain's character is left alone with her sons. There are also new characters included such as the brother of Mrs. O'Brien (who comes floating through town and, like his sister, has a lightness and joy with her sons and problems with their oppressive father) and Mr. O'Brien's deceased father (whose tragic end clearly shaped the man his son would become). Besides Malick expands on young Jack's relationship with one of the neighborhood boys - a background character in the original version - and his extremely troubled home life with a drunk mother (Robin Read) and violent father (Ben Chaplin). And in the present-day wanderings of middle-aged Jack, toward the beginning of the film, there is an expanded version of his life in the city (one that will remind some of Knight of Cups (2015)) that includes two women (Pell James, Lisa Marie Newmyer) who aren't his wife.
