Boys in the Trees Ratings & Reviews

April 2, 2025
Emotionally ambitious, Boys in the Trees sets out to blend coming of age drama with fantasy. Not at all what I anticipated going in. While the production and atmosphere are striking, the pacing can feel sluggish, with some scenes lingering too long on heavy-handed symbolism. The exploration of themes like friendship, regret, and growing up is relatable. However, the narrative sometimes feels like it’s trying too hard to be profound, losing focus in its attempts to juggle so many emotional beats.

Joe Lipsett
A melancholy fable that expands on Versos' short to create a film that's equal parts coming of age and coming out. Bonus points for emphasizing the importance of Indigenous characters and storytelling.

Verso has tapped into something truly wonderful in 'Boys in the Trees', a coming-of-age tale that's bound to leave few dry eyes in the room once the credits roll.

It definitely has a lot of twists and turns that you won't see coming... The storyline was so intriguing.
Jordy Reviews It
Jordy Sirkin
A whimsical coming-of-age tale, mixed with a bit of the macabre, Boys in the Trees is a cautionary tale of adolescence masked by ghost stories.

I haven't even addressed the visuals, which do rank up there with the finest of Jackson and Del Toro's work.

Boys in the Trees is a wonderful love letter to Halloween that explores friendship, growing up, and death. Magnificent to look at and devastating, it is a masterpiece.

... its hallucinatory imagery anchored by realistically profane teen dialogue and a tragic LGTBQ subtext.
