Charlotte Gainsbourg in "The Tree"
“THE TREE” My rating: B (Opens Sept. 16 at the Tivoli)
minutes | MPAA rating:
The Australian drama “The Tree,” writer/director Julie Bertucelli’s tale of a rural family slowly healing in the wake of a death features some knockout acting (especially from several child performers), lovely cinematography and production design and a lingering mood of loss and spiritual yearning that’s hard to shake.
The O’Neill family is sent reeling when its husband/father Peter dies of a heart attack, leaving behind his wife Dawn (Charlotte Gainsbourg) and four children ranging in age from four to 16.
