I knew of this forrest and had thought about going, long before it was made into a movie. There is a magic to it, i just wish that people like me and others can be saved before we die alone in the trees. - @Monday, September 17, 2018 8:28 PM

I love this movie. I don't care with the score on Rotten Tomatoes - @Sunday, September 9, 2018 4:25 PM

Hard to understand the negative reviews of this film. True, not a typical western movie concept and for those preferring to detach from life in all its stages, perhaps not entertainment per se. Yet this film is about life in its fullness, as well as what can happen when emptiness is the daily experience. Beautifully and sensitively performed, well casted including the forest itself as a cast member full of metaphor and spirituality. Art is both entertainment and expression, or better said, emotion. Understandable that there are those for whom these emotions are incompatible with their concept of entertainment, but for those who can, this is an uncommonly thoughtful and full treatment of a universal issue. - @Thursday, August 30, 2018 11:31 PM

Fantastically beautiful movie! The professional critics cement their irrelevancy for all time! For the rest of us proletarians, this story passionately resets the focus of our own life's journey and ignites a steadfast pursuit of the deeper riches buried within our lives and our relationships with each other! - @Saturday, August 11, 2018 6:31 AM

"If god is not waiting on the other side, then who is?" No one, because there isn't an "other side". This life is all we have and that makes it precious and priceless and when it is over, all that you have done is all that remains of you. I'm ok with that. I don't need to be immortal. - @Tuesday, January 16, 2018 1:41 AM

I think this movie came out at a bad time/was marketed wrong (looks like a horror when it's really a drama), hence all the hate. I really enjoyed it. - @Friday, July 14, 2017 8:55 PM

Criminally underrated movie. It was overhyped because it came out right after Matthew was high off of True Detective, Interstellar and his Oscar win. But its definitely not nearly as bad as critics have made it seem. - @Wednesday, May 31, 2017 4:45 AM

The movie is actually good, just give it a shot, yeah just bc people have different opinions and brutally gave it a bad score doesnt mean for you to not watch it. For me this film is really powerful and it took me into a different perspective in life and how hard it is to deal with depression. And also tells you that every moment even the little things always matters the most so cherish it well. - @Thursday, January 12, 2017 5:57 AM

Don't give a damn it was booed in Cannes. I really liked this movie - quite opposite to Tree of Life. It felt deeply emotionally authentic. Depressive? And so is life for some. - @Tuesday, December 6, 2016 12:28 AM
