Rating: B --
Kazan's first film, a sentimental family melodrama, is well acted (James Dunn won a Supporting Oscar), but it doesn't begin to suggest the powerful director he would become in the 1950s.

Rating: A- --
This family has a great deal of love but a lot of difficulty showing it.
Movie Mom
Where Tree is frequently slow, it is offset by the story's significance and pointed up notably by the direction of Elia Kazan.

Variety
Kazan avoids romanticizing poverty, and his focus on performance is already firmly in place.

Rating: 63/100 --
Rarely has the dream factory lavished such skill on such destitution and such insistence that people are not really that changeable in nature.

Elia Kazan has directed this picture, his first, with an easy naturalness that has brought out all the tone of real experience in a vastly affecting film.

This episodic, charmingly sentimental movie is a trifle lengthy but never tedious.
