a beautiful series of character vignettes

Let me first say: if you like shoot em up gun-blastin', laser-swingin', action-heavy VR experiences, then this film is NOT for you.

Kowloon Forest is a beautiful series of character vignettes, using VR to full potential: transporting the viewer, both visually and emotionally, to another world. You feel an incredible closeness to the film's characters, sharing their most private moments, in wonderfully cinematic spaces which are layered with backstory and detail. Meditative and emotive.
