Leave your thoughts about The Sea of Trees.
| Lainey GossipSarah MarrsThis script is so fundamentally flawed I can't imagine anyone wanting to produce it. |
| HaaretzUri KleinThe interest that once greeted every new Gus Van Sant film has been evaporating for some years now. And this latest movie, which can aptly be termed pathetic, only strengthens that feeling. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Julia RabanIt's only 110 minutes long but drags on for what seems like a lifetime. |
| Brooklyn MagazineJustin StewartIt's unclear what the film's detractors found so risible. |
| NUVO NewsweeklySam WatermeierIf you look past the surface, dig deeper and trust its mysterious, supernatural mission, it could make for one of the most emotional experiences you'll have at the movies this year. |
| The Film StageGiovanni Marchini CamiaThe Sea of Trees feels compelled to spoon-feed every single aspect of its painfully banal story. |
| indieWireEric KohnNot even Matthew McConaughey can sustain the mushy, amateurish story, which digs itself a deeper hole as it moves along. The established talents of both director and star only serve to magnify the many wrong moves that this stunning misfire takes. |
| Consequence of SoundNico LangIt would have been one thing to settle for vapid sentimentality, but what makes The Sea of Trees so galling, as it turns the afterlife into a game of riddles, is how manipulative it is. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyAs it turns out, there is something worse than Nicholas Sparks, the king of morbid romantic kitsch, and that’s a Nicholas Sparks pretender with highfalutin pretensions. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfA morbid soap opera that's overlong and dramatically undernourished. |
