 The central issue is not so much survival in the forest, but rather the search for a reason worth living.

 Not a great film, but not the total disaster one might have expected either.

Gus Van Sant's The Sea of Trees received harsh criticism upon release, including boos at Cannes and poor scores on Metacritic. However, the film’s core theme—searching for a meaningful reason to live rather than mere survival—resonates. Acting is on autopilot, and the screenplay is uneven, mixing effective writing with repetitive and banal moments. Visually, the film struggles during dynamic scenes but retains clarity and simplicity in quieter parts. Overall, it's a flawed yet not entirely failed film. Discover the complexities of The Sea of Trees—watch and decide if this misunderstood film resonates with you.
