Review of I Hear the Trees Whispering

This is an indie mystery/drama movie. Almost like an experimental movie, you watch it through the protagonist's eyes, his eyes are the camera, like a video game. No budget production and flawed. Leading actor's voice sounds weird and kinda funny. He should speak in his native language, or they should hire an actor with a better accent. And this is a problem because he is not convincing, he doesn't seem like he mean or realises what he say. If he spoke his native language, i would have felt more his agony, his fear, his feelings overall. Due to his weird American accent, this felt almost like a comedy, at first.

However, there are some redeeming qualities here. The twist came out of nowhere, it was not brilliant or very good but it was original and i bought it. It doesn't even make much sense but i still bought it. This movie indeed keps you guessing like a reviewer wrote. It's not what it seems.

Furthermore, the dialogue between the two actors is well written and kinda interesting. Female actor does a great job, using just her voice. I didn't like the male accent as i said before, but as the movie progressed, i got used to it and i enjoy the movie. And the ending was emotional. I couldn't expect such an emotional ending, it touched my soul.

I can't recommend this movie because it was not a good one, but it's not a bad one either. If you'd like to watch a weird, flawed, almost experimental, indie mystery/drama with no budget and unexpectedly touching ending, you might like it.
