In this powerful story of love and redemption, Matthew McConaughey stars as Arthur Brennan, an American professor who travels to Japan in the midst of a personal crisis. As he wanders through a mysterious forest with a dark past, he experiences flashbacks of his fraught but loving relationship with his wife, Joan (Naomi Watts), and meets an enigmatic stranger, Takumi (Ken Watanabe), who is lost and injured. Arthur devotes himself to saving Takumi and returning him home to safety, and the two embark on a spiritual, life-changing journey of friendship, discovery, and healing—one which may ultimately re-connect Arthur with his love for his wife.
In Japan's Aokigahara Forest, a troubled teacher meets a mysterious lost stranger who takes him on a life-changing journey of love and redemption.

A beautful story of PurgatoryJust finished this movie. Two of my favorite actors didn't disappoint me. I always watch any and everything Matthew McConaughey and Naomi Watts do. This movie was slow and delightfully so. I was very moved. I thought the writing and the acting were awesome. You won't regret this purchase. Blessings..Score: 5/5
The reviewer's saw a different movie!This is a wonderful movie. It's deep and thoughtful. It isn't just an entertaining movie and when you finish watching it, you'll find yourself thinking about it long afterwards. Yes, it deals with a dark subject but death is a part of life whether we want to admit it or not..Score: 5/5

Better than what credits sayI rather enjoyed this movie. I thought it was thought provoking and had good acting. I liked all the symbolism and metaphors. I thought the forest, which is real, was eerie but interesting . In fact the movie was interesting and not the same old Hollywood junk. Rent it..Score: 3/5

A Hidden Bond That Reveals GrowthOnce again,it seems as though movies today are for and few left. I wonder sometimes where all the good actors went lately. I can only assume because of all the garbage that hollywood has made. Now,well it's gone to the iphones, food footage gore,sex,in all the wrong ways. I come across a hidden gem every once in a while. well,ratings i don't even look at, however i just knew this caught my eye, The acting, filming and scenery do make a difference in how a movie brings in emotion thru just that. I guess today it is not relevant. I would sugest many watch this,even if you know Matthew M. I don't believe any movie is a lifesaver,however you can feel as if this is a part of life anyone can experience,even though there are always going to be a differance of opinion, but life changes in some form..Score: 5/5
3.75 stars ... but way better than its ratings suggestSo id call this something like 3.75 stars. almost 4 stars. but its certainly not as bad as other reviews suggest. theres a handful of movies i love and that i think are well done or stylish (like tarsem's the fall, or the cell) that are way better than their general review rating, but THIS film i think is THE most contrasted between poor review ratings and good quality/acting that ive maybe ever seen. sure you probably wont buy it, but its a thinker, and the acting is intimate and offered with conviction. the lingering plot points arent an issue really. the film is ABOUT a kind of summation of life, its value, its uncertainty, etc.basically just relax about your expectations and watch a human experience. worth seeing at least once i say..Score: 4/5
Negative reviews are completely off!Movie was great. Rotten tomatoes and other negative reviews are completely crazy.This film was way better than these negative reviews make one believe. Think the film needs a larger distro and it will hopefully do better. Lots of crappy movies get better reviews than this one but this film was actually really good with a nice heartfelt story..Score: 5/5
A great movieI disagree with the bad reviews of this movie. I really enjoyed watching it. The movie touched on the subject of death that people are afraid to think or talk about. It showed how people dealt with the grief of death, regrets, sorrow, and guilt at the passing of a loved one. That sometimes the people we loved, though gone, can still leave a message of love and forgiveness. It is possible to move on in time..Score: 5/5
Not upliftingI'm a fan of Matthew Mc. I thought the quality of acting was great in this movie. But it's not very uplifting, almost depressing. Others may disagree. The movie trailer led me to believe this was going to be a "feel-good" movie. But I give it 3 stars for the good acting..Score: 3/5
