Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

ollicshe I don't understand really why so low rating on IMDb. It's beautiful movie with talented actors, with nice soundtrack, with important thought about relationship and how we wast time of our life for quarrels. I enjoyed watching this movie. Highly recommended for couples.

Martha Montelongo I don't understand why the low score for this film. This is one of those films that touched, moved and inspired me. It was recommended by a priest at a memorial for a man who passed away at 83. The priest spoke of marriage, as the departed left behind his wife of fifty plus years. The message was to recognize in ourselves any way in which we lose ourselves and begin to kill off the love and joy between ourselves and our family members, and particularly, our spouse.I was immediately engrossed in the story. I saw pieces of myself in both McConaughey's and Watt's characters. The story deals with love, hope, being lost, getting stuck in anger and resentment, on compassion, redemption, and renewal.It is an edifying story that will resonate in my mind for a long time. It serves as a parable. It is spiritual as well as gripping and suspenseful.

Michael O'Keefe A very distraught Arthur Brennan (Matthew McConaughey), is ready to end it all and purchases a one-way ticket to Tokyo. Arthur, hopelessly trying to deal with the memory of his love/hate relationship with his wife Joan (Naomi Watts), seeks out Japan's famed Aokigahara Forest, the "suicide forest". Brennan plans on taking his life with an overdose of sedatives, when his plan is disrupted by another lost soul wandering the winding trails. Takumi Nakamura (Ken Watanabe) has had a change of heart and is wanting to actually find the way out of the forest. So what began as a task of killing themselves instead will become something powerfully different.The story line is quite depressing; the scenery is a contrast of ugliness and beauty. The acting is heartfelt and believable. McConaughey is dynamic. Also appearing are: Katie Aselton, Bruce Norris, Anna Friedman and Ryoko Seta.

Srodger1-622-250999 This movie was so moving, beautiful and so well acted. Matthew McConaughey and Ken Watanabe are so good in this. Make sure you can sit down and really focus on it. I don't get the reviews that describe it as slow. I loved it! The critical reception of this film boggles my mind. Some of the worst movies gain critical praise, and gems like this go unnoticed.
