A Will for the Woods Ratings & Reviews
Spirituality & Health
Bilge Ebiri
Will for the Woods intriguingly explores this growing world of green burials and some of the key figures in it. But at heart, it's Clark Wang's story.
Oregonian
Jamie S. Rich
n the film's sobering final act, we get to see the man's beliefs put to practice...fulfill[ing] his wishes--including using this film to share his philosophy with the world.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
The movie feels entirely promotional, provoking separate, unanswered questions about green medicine too.
Nonfics (Substack)
Dan Schindel
The unknowables and intangibles around death are what make it so scary, and Clark's journey demonstrates how fear can dissipate if one takes control of what's going to happen to them.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Just as Dr. Wang approached his own death with purpose and honor, the filmmakers have done the same in telling his story and making it ours as well.
Film Journal International
Chris Barsanti
But A Will for the Woods is more contemplative than preachy. This spirit might, ironically, limit its audience more than if it had drawn a harder and angrier line. But that generosity makes for a finer film.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
It's possible to admire the four directors' unflinching depiction of the dying process, but the film is mostly unilluminating and grim - not least because almost all of the deaths discussed are untimely.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
An enlightening look at the Green Burial Movement and its ecological and spiritual dimensions.
UR Chicago Magazine
John Esther
While the "green burial movement" does play a notable role here, the documentary's other strength is how it captures Clark coming to grips with his impending death.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Less an introduction to the green-burial movement than a portrait of one man who embraced it after being diagnosed with a terminal illness, A Will for the Woods is more sentimental than journalistic.
The Dissolve
Jen Chaney
...A Will For The Woods transforms into a truly moving experience, and a testimony to the difference that a single life can make in the lives of others.
Village Voice
Daphne Howland
While the film also captures many private, sometimes heartbreaking scenes, it takes a lot of time to make its simple point.
Film Threat
Elias Savada
A Will for the Woods will help build awareness of the movement while also telling an immersive (for everyone, including the embedded filmmakers), heartwarming tale of one man's passionate struggle to find both peace on earth and peace in earth..."
