Leave your thoughts about The Tree.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA beautiful and beguiling Australian film about love, loss, mystery and the resources needed to hold together a grieving family. |
| NPRScott TobiasOn a technical level, The Tree marks a significant advance over the humble utility of Bertuccelli's previous film, drinking in Australia's pastoral majesty with an abundant eye for beauty that falls just short of the intended poetry. Yet the characters aren't nearly as resonant. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Jon FroschDespite its eccentric, boldly obvious central metaphor, the film feels bland and oddly inconsequential. |
| QuickflixSimon MiraudoThe Tree is a warm, modern-day fable that avoids schmaltzy sentimentality ... It deals with death and grief not with rose-tinted glasses, but with painful clarity. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonThe Tree might have suffered from too much symbolism if not for writer-director Julie Bertuccelli's deft touch and Gainsbourg's appealing performance. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Annette BasileLoss is central to this story, but this isn't another Australian film that will be accused of being bleak. It's realistic yet hopeful, a little mystical and simply quite beautiful. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoBe warned: The Tree is slow-moving, but if given a chance, it will (pardon the pun) grow on you. |
| TrespassJim MitchellIt's a ruminative, universal exploration of grief and the life force that can flow from it. Quite literally, life taking over. |
| Film-Forward.comKent TurnerIs the tone sentimental? Yes, but only as much as the material requires-no insulin is necessary. |
| Boston PhoenixPeter KeoughThe film succeeds most when it sticks to a detached naturalism, both in long shots of the landscape and the interactions of the subdued, complex characters. |
