Steve Buscemi, an icon of the independent film world for years, took the opportunity to write, direct, and star in this wistful low-budget gem. He plays Tommy, a Long Island loser who gets tossed from his job as a mechanic for questionable financial antics. He spends his days at a local bar, drinking his life away even as he denies that he's doing any such thing. And when he finally works up the gumption to get a job, he winds up driving an ice-cream truck in his old neighborhood--and getting involved in an inappropriate relationship with his teeny-bopper assistant (Chloe Sevigny), earning the violent enmity of her father (Daniel Baldwin). Low-key in its approach, the film has a sad humor that is both knowing and forgiving, as well as offering one of Buscemi's best performances. --Marshall Fine
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The transition from actor to director doesn't always work. Right, Steve?
Good Gosh almighty, watching Tree's Lounge all the way through is in a way like allowing an embittered Croatian nanny rip your back hairs out one at a time, all while she sings the song 'Scarborough Fair' in her festive native tongue. In other words, it's a rough experience.
Okay, so it's not that bad, but it is like hanging out in your garage on a Saturday afternoon, watching your great uncle throw back cold ones while he drones on about politics and the state of the economy. It's not ... Read More
Rating:  - Trees Lounge
Good movie! came as expected (new) and arrived in time for christmas- I think I ordered it a couple weeks before.
Rating: - Small, Rough...but Excellent.
I don't have anything controversial to say here as I basically feel the same way about Trees Lounge as everybody else. I loved it when I saw it a decade ago and my opinion has not changed in the time since. I rented it the other day and was as pleased as I was the first time around. Buscemi's virgin directorial effort could not have been more resonant. He portrays Tommy as both a hero and an anti-hero. The plot itself takes us to quite familiar places as there isn't anything too "Hollywood" about this ... Read More
Rating: - Buscemi's Masterpiece
This movie is all about the little things; It's the awkward comments and familiar situations that make you feel like you know these people and have been in their homes.Whether it's the fact Buscemi is a mechanic who doesn't have a working car, or the fact he is constantly being cheated out of cocaine, this movie brings a smile to my face every time. This is a slice of life type movie, filled with colorful but not 'pre-meditated' characters. I always got the feeling I was watching these people, not the ... Read More
Rating: - Buscemi directs with a sure hand...
What a pleasant surprise this flick turned out to be. Always liked Buscemi's work as an actor, but had no idea he could direct...until I saw this film.
It's easy to relate to what this character goes through in this movie. Who hasn't been in a rut? Who hasn't felt this way?
You know you'd like to shake the Blues, get your life back on track...be happy about something, find meaning in your existance somehow...
I liked this quiet tale told in a relatively low-key way. Real ... Read More
