Gwyneth Paltrow's ‘immersive retreat' blasted online: ‘Quite unimpressive'
Gwyneth Patlrow's 'holistic, immersive retreat' in the Meatpacking District has some visitors stressed out. The Hollywood star's free 'seasonal installation' at Genesis House, which also houses a Korean restaurant, is called 'The Forest Within' and is supposed to be 'a restorative and multi-sensory wellness experience.' 3 Gwyneth Paltrow's immersive installation at Genesis House first opened last month.

The experience 'guides guests through an immersive journey centered around Korean heritage, nature, and design,' according to a news release. 'Drawing inspiration from the cultural significance of nature, Paltrow's fantasy transforms Genesis House into a meditative forest that is rich with natural elements and layered with symbolic representations of Korean wildlife — most notably the Tiger, long regarded as a guardian spirit in Korea.' But the 'experience' 'took 5 minutes to walk through,' said one person who griped that there was 'no place to sit and admire the mediocre projections. 3 The installation runs through June 29. Neil Rasmus/Shutterstock 3 'Umimpressive' was just one of the words visitors used to describe Paltrow's work. Genesis Motor America 'Not something to go out of your way for,' the online critic added. 'Beautiful but literally 2 minutes long,' another commented. Others bemoaned the excessive wait times for what was an all too brief experience. 'This was quite unimpressive after a 40-minute wait,' one person wrote online. Reps for Paltrow did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The installation is open until June 29.
