The Tree (2017)
8KThe Tree: Directed by Stephen Wallace Pruitt. With Joicie Appell, Scott Cordes, Christie Courville, Michelle Daugharthy. Inspired by an actual friendship between the director’s mother and his mother’s best friend, ‘The Tree’ is a poignant, heart-warming story about an 88 year-old widow (Dorothy Thorp) who takes a road trip from Wamego, Kansas, back to Terre Haute, Indiana, to visit her oldest and dearest childhood friend.
“I was warned the pace of this movie was slow, but I found it to be perfect for the subject matter. While some bits were formulaic, the filmu0026#39;s authenticity towards its subject matter (the consequences of getting old, elderly independence, following a dream, taking responsibility for oneself, giving others room for themselves) was VERY well done. The direction, the sets and the actors all presented an accurate picture of the experiences and emotions for that time and place. Kudos to all involved.”
