I had some really high expectations for this movie given the fact that it was selected as the closing night in Cannes. The story was not what I was expecting, however, I really enjoyed it. Not only it was touching, but it was also exquisitely acted and filmed. The extreme close-ups of the tree were able to convey the fact that it was not an object but a living organism. In fact, from time to time they even made me feel or wish that the father was truly inside the tree. The combination of those close-ups with the use of shallow focus provided a right amount of fantasy and dream-like atmosphere to the film.
In addition, I thought that the acting of the little girl was phenomenal. She was really talented on staying in character and transmitting to the audience what Simone, her character, was going through.
