Kevin Thomas

If nothing else can be said of The Singing Forest, it is assuredly fearless in defying credibility at every turn and on every level.

Chuck Wilson

Ameer ... is such an inept filmmaker ... that he can't make clear the whereabouts of three characters in one small apartment, much less give them dialogue that isn't absurdly melodramatic.

One has to feel for actors faced with clunky, obvious lines.

Connie Ogle

The sort of movie that makes you question the entire concept of independent film. Hollywood at its worst isn't this ghastly or insulting.

Phoebe Flowers

The Singing Forest is not just incompetently written, directed and performed, it's also breezily offensive.

Ken Fox

A trivial tale of romance and reincarnation that would be simply laughable if it weren't such a senseless exploitation of atrocity.

G. Allen Johnson

Writer-director Jorge Ameer's bare-bones vanity project has one incredible premise, one that is so ridiculous and over-the-top it would have been difficult to take his film seriously even if the rest of the film's elements were top-notch (they are not).

Amateurish.

Stephen Holden

To describe this supernatural soap opera as inept and mawkish doesn't really begin to evoke the awfulness of The Singing Forest.
