The Christmas Tree (1996) presents an interesting blend of drama and family warmth. It centers on this unlikely bond between Sister Anthony, a devoted elderly nun, and Richard Reilly, the ambitious landscape architect from Rockefeller Center. Their connection unfolds against a backdrop of holiday preparations, with some genuinely touching moments. The pacing feels gentle, almost reflective, as it grapples with themes of sacrifice, friendship, and the true spirit of Christmas. The performances are sincere, particularly the dynamic between the nun and the architect, which lends a nice depth to the narrative. It's not flashy or overly sentimental, but rather a quiet exploration of values often lost amidst the holiday bustle. The practical effects here are minimal but effective in creating a cozy atmosphere.
