Evergreen is composed of standard teleplay material that fails to surprise and engage at almost every turn.

The movie comes to a satisfactory conclusion teaching the lesson that things aren't always as good as they look.

The dialogue is on-the-nose and its lessons are pedestrian, but the film remains a “working poor-trait” of poignancy and grace due to Addie Land's unself-conscious turn.

A solid, affectionately told drama, at times wavering the line of excellent, that only disappoints when it doesn't add up to the fully-realized catharsis it is aiming for.

Rife with clichés and precocious artsy-craft.
