Forbidden Forest

About This Movie

Forbidden Forest is really something else. It dives deep into the clash between local traditions and corporate interests in New Brunswick. The two main guys, with their starkly different backgrounds, bring a raw authenticity to the narrative. The pacing is quite contemplative, letting you soak in the rich landscapes and the heavy weight of their struggles. You really feel the tension in every frame, especially when they talk about the land. It’s not flashy—no big budgets or over-the-top editing—but it’s got soul. The practical effects of nature itself are the standout here, and the performances feel genuine, almost like they’re inviting you into their world, not just showing it.
