What the Trees Whisper About (2020)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Our protagonist is a medium-high, lean, ca. 100-year old one. As for his origin, he belongs to the beech trees. Through the history and relations of our star, we get acquainted with the secrets of trees' lives and those skills that enabled them to be one of the oldest living things on Earth. We examine the macro-environment and social network of the beech, we meet the creepy, crawly and flying creatures that are inseparable from the trees, we witness the many dozen defensive, competitive and cooperative strategies.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
