Trees

About This Movie

So, 'Trees' is this really intriguing drama set in a future where trees are actually banned. The atmosphere is oppressive, almost claustrophobic, which really nails that dystopian vibe. The pacing can be a bit uneven at times, but it adds to that sense of urgency felt by the characters. The performances? They’re quite raw, especially from the lead, who brings this quiet intensity to the role of the council worker turned rebel. What’s interesting is how the film captures the emotional weight of nature being stripped away, using practical effects that feel grounded rather than flashy. It’s a stark piece that lingers, challenging you to think about loss and resistance. Definitely distinctive in its approach to a familiar trope.
