Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
jollylolly SEA OF TREES : 6/10 .I have to admit, this movie is quite painful to sit through because there are mainly dialogues and flashbacks. Nonetheless, i did enjoy the beautiful scenery of the infamous japanese's 'suicide forest'. The movie began to show some interesting bits around 30mins towards the end, twist of plot, of course. the ending is nice.
SnoopyStyle Arthur Brennan (Matthew McConaughey) travels to the Aokigahara forest in Japan where people go to commit suicide. There, he encounters Takumi Nakamura (Ken Watanabe). The movie also shows his troubled marriage to Joan Brennan (Naomi Watts).Director Gus Van Sant delivers a ponderous journey of self-discovery. Neither timeline is that compelling. The troubled marriage lacks energy which ends in a silly surprise reveal. The walk in the forest is only that while the audience waits for the inevitable reveal. This felt much longer than its running time.
Mona Magdy Despite the depression in the movie, but I was satisfied when I was watching it. The movie took me to a strange journey like the journey of death or maybe we can say a journey of introspection and facing ourselves. There are many emotions in this movie like Hope, despair, surrender, courage, sacrifice, love, hate, regret and feeling guilty. Matthew performance was very great, Naomi was good but not good enough she could do more. The shooting was so great, also the direction, the story and the script. One last thing, the lesson of the movie I think that you might think that you didn't know someone very close to you will but in deep down and with the right incentive you knew them. It was a great drama movie, I loved it and you must watch it unless you are depressed. :D
adonis98-743-186503 A suicidal American befriends a Japanese man lost in a forest near Mt. Fuji and the two search for a way out. The Sea of Trees is one of the most underrated films i've seen in a while it has a great message about love and life and it the ending was terrific i really don't wanna spoil it except 2 little words "Yellow" & "Winter". Matthew McConaughey gives an amazing performance, Ken Watanabe is fantastic as always and Naomi Watts did a pretty good job also. As for negatives this movie had a slow pacing for the first 2 acts until something happened and totally changed my view on the movie, there was also a bit way too much exposition which i get it but it kinda bugged me at times and also the marketing made the film look like some kind of horror movie when it's just a drama. If you skip the horrible reviews and have a clear mind you gonna love it if not then stay away from it. I'm gonna give The Sea of Trees an 9.0 out of 10.
