City of Trees

Historically, at least for the films I have reviewed, when one person writes, directs, AND stars in their own film – it doesn’t work. As expected, that is the case with “City of Trees.” However the low rating actually stems more from the lack of a budget, crappy cinematographic elements, and poor editing. The plot itself is rather intriguing with some in-depth conversations. The trouble is that by the time the story got involved, I was already zoning out due to an incredibly slow pace and the lack of adequate lighting. However, many fans online rave about “City of Trees.” If you enjoy watching a slow-moving story and especially are hoping to see a Christmas film that features a lesbian storyline, then you may want to give “City of Trees” a watch. However, my advice is to find something else to watch instead!
