This odd French-Australian co-production is attractive on many levels, but suffers from having Charlotte Gainsbourg as the main adult character. As in most of her other films, her acting is unconvincing. Morgana Davies is a bit better as the child, but this film also fails to have the tree-father say anything significant, and his wife makes an unconvincing recovery helped by her kids.
This adaptation of Judy Pascoe's novel Our Father Who Art in the Tree would have been better with an Australian actress, or someone more convincing anyway.
