At first I thought this movie was going to be a very happy and fantasy version of the classic 'becoming human' plot, but boy was I wrong about that assumption. A Tree of Palme is definitely a much darker and deeper version with a small fantasy twist.

This movie definitely isn't for everyone. I was only able to watch it with sparks of interest because of the deepness and strange visuals and symbols of the movie. The animation and music were the highlight of the movie, for some reason the music always had me in tears even when it wasn't a part where I was supposed ... to cry!

The visuals, animation, and music definitely make up for what was the problem of the movie. The story and characters. I managed to try my best and kept up with most of the story, there were some loose ends left here and there and some parts were scattered about. It's like putting a puzzle together but quite a handful of pieces are missing.

With some characters, they were quite adorable that's true. But these were most of the side characters. The main character, Palme, was changing his character almost every second and it always threw me off on what his objectives were. It also felt like some characters were being developed too quickly because they weren't in the beginning of the movie.

The ending wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst either. I would say more but that would be spoiling.

Overall, I was able to the understand the movie and thus I enjoyed it. Plus, I'm such a sucker for interesting, weird, visuals! ♥
