"The Sea of Trees"

A man (Matthew McConaughey) ventures into The Sea of Trees, a wildlife area in the shadow of Mt. Fuji, known as an international destination to commit suicide. He befriends another lost soul, played by Ken Watanabe, who he's determined to help out of the woods. The backstory is told through a series of flashbacks, focusing on his relationship with his wife (Naomi Watts). To use the old cliche, McConaughey gives a riveting performance. The film is slow moving, but well worth the time it takes to unfold. And the scenery and cinematography are outstanding.
4 out of 5 stars
