Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAokigahara Forest near Mount Fuji in Japan, otherwise known as the "suicide forest" sees an average of 3 suicides a week. It is also said to be haunted by multiple "Yurei" - Japanese ghosts who are angry at their own deaths. This premise was previously explored in the short film Shawn4Ever (2012).
- GoofsWhen Arthur is shown on the airplane, he has the orchid with him and then again when he arrives home (he is shown setting the potted flower down). An agricultural item such as this would have to go through quarantine and he would never just take it home.

Featured review
One should know about Symbols before watching this movie
I had no idea what kind of movie i was watching, maybe i Just decided to watch it because of Matthew Mcconaughey playing in it but then it got me. I knew about C.G. Yung and Joseph Campbell's method of analyzing symbols and mythology and however at the beginning I did not realize it and even thought it might be a horror movie but then slowly by slowly it opened to me like if you see some one and they look familiar but you don't know how you know them and then that aha moment comes. After that I enjoyed every moment of the movie and could not stop thinking about it for some time.
I have to be fair though and admit that the flash backs could get a bit boring sometimes but I think it is just because the situation the couples were in was boring and nerve racking any way so in the movie they could not change it.it is how it is.
At the end I'd say its a clean, honest and truthful story without lies or exaggerations. the acts are great the scenes are well chosen and effective and well again if you know a bit about symbols you might learn something out of it.
