Jonita Davis The Black Cape 'A Family Tree' is set in Panama and features three people who, over the course of a handful of holidays, redefine not only tradition but what it means to call someone, "family." Rated: 3.5 Mar 4, 2021 Full Review Elias Savada Film International No doubt the film is somewhat stifled by its technical faults (at least in my online viewing). The Family Tree offers up a spiritual dish in a different setting, probably outside your comfort zone. Rated: 3/5 Jan 23, 2021 Full Review Fr. Chris Carpenter Movie Dearest While the performances in The Family Tree are at times amateurish and Ameer's dialogue can be simplistic, this is a heartfelt story heightened by its holiday setting. Rated: B Nov 25, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
