Boys in the Trees is a 2016 Australian fantasy drama film directed by Nicholas Verso.[1] It was screened in the Discovery section at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival.[2]
Critical reception
Reviews were mixed but generally favourable, getting 80% on Rotten Tomatoes from 15 reviews.[3] AV Club included it in its "The best films of 2017 that we didn't review" feature, noting its themes were not original but saying it "grapples with the universal teenage themes of fitting in and growing apart more imaginatively—and sensitively—than most".[4] The Guardian gave it 2/5, finding some moments were "memorably surreal" but saying it suffered from its low budget and lack of script editing.[5]
