    I much prefer the English title ("The frog") to the French one ("Les silences de la forêt"), which I find, in the end, much closer to the essence of the series.

    The Fountain is a film I expected to be mystico-weird, but it surpassed my expectations in that regard. While it offers some meaningful themes, particularly around obsessions and grief, they’re somewhat overshadowed by an overly mystical plot and aesthetics that felt too opaque for me.

    My love for Jessica Chastain made me watch this movie, and thats also my love for her that made me desapointed. She is not playing bad, but this movie do her no justice. The scenario is easy and not interesting. All the fight scenes are over-cut. The film editing is boring. Overall its desapointing and a waste of good actors.
