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.

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.
