City of Trees

Loved the interaction and the buildup and that huge feeling that this story had despite a small cast. Great love development between two high school girls who would 'never' be part of the same world, until one returns home years later, which lines up with class reunion. Well done.

I would have changed the ending but I'm not sure how. The director made this movie. It developed at exactly the right pace from beginning to end. I don't know who Alexandra Swarens is but she's good. The movie held my undivided attention from the beginning to end. Thank you Prime. You did well with this one. I hope the director has more movies to spring on us.

I loved the way they developed the story and how multi dimensional the storytelling was. It tenderly touches on the traumas of the past and the actresses have done a great job in showing how those things build as insecurities in the present.

I also loved the warm representation of love. It's such an honest, such a realistic, and such a beautiful movie.

I really enjoyed this one, it's light, it's authentic and everyone did a great job. If you can look past some minor sound imperfections and let yourself dive into the world of someone who has not only been in her hometown for 7 years, but also wasn't invited to the high school reunion, and you just know this would be awkward but also maybe the time to realise people are not the same as they were in high school before. Really lovely characters and well written, which is no surprise coming from Alexandra Swarens. It's a thumbs up from me and looking forward to more stories.

I'd be lying if I said that before watching "City of Trees" I had been grouping it in with other corny lesbian Christmas movies. Not only did I love the movie, but it's writing, directing, and acting blew me away! Yes it's a low-budget, independent film, but not in a bad way, rather in a realistic way. It's a very relatable storyline for anyone who has moved away from their hometown after a less than stellar high school experience, only to return later in life and find that people grow-up, and maybe your worst enemies can actually become friends..or more. "City of Trees" is 100% worth the watch, as it is a well above-average, realistic LBGTQIA+ film that will leave you thinking "Wow, I didn't expect that!".
