72 Trees

About This Movie

72 Trees is an intriguing documentary that dives into the art world with a unique twist. Following two underemployed hipsters on this almost absurd challenge laid out by a wealthy artist, the film captures a mix of ambition and humor. The tone is laid-back yet earnest, as you see them really grapple with the logistics of visiting eleven galleries across the globe. The pacing is a bit uneven at times but it adds to the feeling of their journey. The interplay of art, commerce, and personal aspirations creates a layered narrative that’s reflective, often poking fun at the art scene. It’s worth noting the practical effects used throughout — like real locations and interactions — which ground the film in a refreshing reality. A distinct blend of humor and art commentary that stands out.
