There's definitely been a downward trend in his filmmaking since the '70s (notwithstanding The Knight of Cups and Song to Song, which I haven't seen, Badlands and Days of Heaven are still his best movies), but for all the structural and conceptual weaknesses of The Thin Red Line, The New World, The Tree of Life, and To the Wonder, the guy still knows how to cut a sequence, even if he seems to find it increasingly difficult to get from one sequence to the next.
