Tree Man

About This Movie

Tree Man, directed by Ben Woolley, is this quirky blend of comedy and documentary that really dives into the absurd. The pacing is laid-back, allowing the viewer to soak in the eccentricities of the protagonist—this guy who claims he's got all the powers of a tree. It’s a wild ride; you’ve got practical effects that are surprisingly creative, adding a tangible feel to his tree-like antics. The interviews are often hilarious but also provoke thought about identity and how we see ourselves. Woolley captures a tone that’s both whimsical and contemplative, making it distinctive in the current documentary landscape. I found the performances to be refreshingly genuine, with a certain offbeat charm that lingers with you.
