The Wishing Tree (2020) User Reviews

A meditative movie

[bugger-17071 · 7/10 · 28 December 2021]

Well, this movie is certainly unique. It's mostly set in nature, it's slow, and focuses mostly on a woman's inner journey as she fights with her negative feelings onset by the recent death of her mother and her inability to have a baby. Besides her, we have 2 male leads, but they are explored less in the movie, most of the focus is on the woman, who we do understand well by the end .

You have to be in the right state of mind to be able to enjoy this movie, as it spends a lot of time meandering in quiet moments and showing how the characters process their emotions, but it's not bad at all, you just have to know what to expect.

A beautiful movie about the hardships that makes us Human and the paths we follow in life. A must-see movie that opens our heart to explore the realities of life and the possibilities to find happiness. On a trail of self-awareness, we may choose to select any path, but will it direct us to the path we really want? Our hearts are easily broken only because we are Human, yet we strive to make it a better world for ourselves. Three friends meet and examine their own truths and define what it means to be alive. The movie is centered on a long hike in the wilderness where chance meeting of friends leads to individual discovery of themselves. Life is cruel and so too, they must endure its consequences. It follows that dying is simple but it's living that's hard to bear. Good things happen in life but something bad always tries to stop it. It rests with ALL of US.
