Richard Brody The New Yorker Some of the best talk, and some of the most dedicated collaborations, and some of the warmest friendships that I've seen in a movie in quite a while. Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Maria Nae Little White Lies An honest, inspiring achievement. Rated: 4/5 Jan 31, 2020 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian [A] witty and engaging cinephile documentary... Rated: 4/5 Jan 30, 2020 Full Review Joseph Fahim Middle East Eye Talking About Trees is the rare Middle Eastern crowd-pleaser: a film with a big heart and defiant politics that establishes Gasmelbari as one of the hottest new talents in the region. Jul 3, 2021 Full Review Pat Padua Washington City Paper Talking About Trees, as it follows its subjects opening up boxes of dusty VHS tapes, is a cautionary tale: In order to preserve cinema for future generations, care must be taken to safeguard these cultural landmarks or they'll disappear. Mar 6, 2020 Full Review Emmanuel Báez Cinéfiloz This documentary by Suhaib Gasmelbari is a magnificent work of art in every meaning of the expression.
