Editor’s note: Our short take on The Tree of Knowledge (2025): It leans into its Drama, Comedy roots without feeling derivative. With Eugène Green at the helm, the film feels purposeful and well-paced. Standout turns from Rui Pedro Silva, Leonor Silveira, João Arrais keep it engaging even in quieter stretches. The 1h 40m runtime suits the material; scenes land without dragging. Worth a watch for the craft alone, even beyond the genre appeal.
