Reviews for Tre
1 - 15 (sorted by date)
A character study about characters I never cared about, Tre features actors whose acting shows. Never for a minute did I buy that the characters they were trying to create were real.
03/31/08
Smacks of an audition exercise.

Top CriticThere’s a strange sort of vacuousness to Tre, Eric Byler’s newest installment on relationships amidst directionless twentysomethings.
02/19/08
I think Byler is at his best when he directs material he writes on his own, and he's at the top of his game with Tre.
02/19/08
Byler has a knack for elegant composition, as well as the hazy middle ground between friendship and friendship with a sexual asterisk.
02/19/08
Top CriticFeels like a vanity project, or worse, like homework.
02/15/08
Top Critic[Byler] ventures into Douglas Sirk territory with astonishing skill (not an easy task), presenting this potential melodrama with gravity and intelligence.
02/14/08
A smart and incisive look at contemporary relationships that avoids all the cliches that one might expect to find
02/07/08
After a promising start with Charlotte Sometimes, Byler fumbles big time with this slow-moving, even irritating sophomore effort.
02/07/08
Less is decidedly less.
02/01/08
Top CriticIt's difficult to care who couples or uncouples throughout this relationship drama since the combinations are always completely unappealing.
01/31/08
If you're looking for fresh, compelling proof that the best training for young actors aspiring to authentic film performances is still the theater, look no further.
01/31/08
Unlike most indie dramas about rudderless 20-somethings who exorcise their hang-ups by talking and screwing each other to death, Tre is something rare: a perceptive, nonindulgent chamber piece that wrings a little art from that anxious age.
01/31/08
Tale of a 30ish quartet at personal crossroads in the wealthy, idyllic Santa Monica Mountains sports juicy conflicts and prickly dialogue, though the directorial approach remains judiciously low-key.
