A tragic tale of two lovers from the holocaust. Fate tore them apart, destiny brought them together.

TV Guide Magazine
The cast isn't bad but the movie is, and Amir's use of Holocaust imagery is cheap and unnecessary; Jo and Alexander could just as easily have died on the Titanic. At one point the dialogue is completely drowned out by the roar of the surf, and that is no doubt a blessing.

Los Angeles Times
Awkwardly staged and edited and fitted out with an overly intrusive score drawn primarily from classical music, the film consistently subverts the earnest efforts of its cast.

New York Post
Amateurish, irritatingly gabby indie.

Variety
Provides scant entertainment value, intentional or otherwise.

The New York Times
The Singing Forest was written and directed by Jorge Ameer, whose film "Strippers" opened three years ago and remained the single worst movie I had ever reviewed -- until now.

San Francisco Chronicle
Bare-bones vanity project.

L.A. Weekly
Bad movies can be a hoot, but rather than campy, Ameer appears to be dead serious; and it's hard to feel anything but fury toward a filmmaker whose opening title sequence intersperses black-and-white flashbacks of his sexy young lovers with actual concentration-camp photos of stacked, emaciated corpses.
