Michael Sales, Midlands Movie Review
It’s a rare thing for a film to deftly tread the fine line between comedy and tragedy, but ‘The Tree’ pulls it off masterfully, producing a moment of pure pathos.
FESTIVAL AWARD WINNER.
Sarah Smith, Brighton Rocks Blog
Oliver Blair has created an outstanding film that doesn’t shy away from showcasing the unglamorous bereavement process. [] An enthralling watch. Highly recommended.
