Beautiful and soporific movie

It is certainly a beautiful movie, but also very soporific.

2 stars for beautiful nature...

... enough said. I am absolutely into woo woo stuff, but this whole movie has just no sense at all.

Three out of Ten

At times it has the feeling of an amateur photo contest slide show, at other times a study in pedestrian story telling, sprinkled with Zen calendar wisdom.

Film with an excellent Juliette Binoche. I watched the film till the end, I liked the actors, I didn't like the story. In reality there is no story at all. This film is a little crazy. That's all.

Some great concepts, but falls a little short

There is such reverence shown to nature here, in how the clouds move across the sky, the sunlight is reflected like diamonds in the water, the trees sway in the wind, and the ethereal mist shrouds the landscape. I love what I think director/writer Naomi Kawase was going for, and only wish the storytelling was a little more lucid, especially in the second half. Genuine connection, the need for simplicity, the renewal of nature, the fundamental flaw with humanity ... a meditation on all that accompanied by beautiful forest scenery is great stuff, and it was certainly nice to see Juliette Binoche here as well. The themes just aren't synthesized very well, leading to a disappointed feeling at the end.

Trivia
Naomi Kawase wrote the script in terms of Juliette Binoche's schedule, after meeting the actress at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival and instantly knowing she wanted to work with her. Binoche was available in September and November 2017, but not in October, thus the story was split in two halves.
