Sarah Elzas'whimsical exploration of Joyce Kilmer's "Trees" is perfect for Arbor Day. The montage of readings, an interview with Kilmer's grandson and especially Alfalfa's musical rendition at the conclusion result in a well-crafted and engaging feature.
Lively little left-handed hommage to the famous poem - blossoming out with bright archival clips - the last interviewee, a poet, says it aptly - Joyce Kilmer has lodged that sliver in there pretty deep. Is there a National Tree Day? Well, declare one!
