The Moneytree is a curious piece from the early '90s, exploring the life of a marijuana grower in Marin County. It dives into the complexities of the counterculture and the everyday struggles faced by its protagonist. The pacing feels relaxed, almost languid, which mirrors the rural setting but also sometimes drags a bit. There's a distinct atmosphere, a blend of tension and serenity, that permeates the film. Performances are grounded; you can feel the weight of their choices. Practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the authenticity of the grow scenes. It’s not trying to glamorize the lifestyle, but rather presents a raw, unfiltered look at the highs and lows. Definitely a gem for collectors interested in niche cinema from that era.
