Master Gardener - Reviews

...while the central character’s arc will likely launch a dreaded “discourse,” there is a tenderness to “Master Gardener” that may prove its biggest surprise.

Tender, tense, contemplative and somehow still in your face.

Paul Schrader delivers another compelling investigation of conflicted men in modern America.

...the trio of Edgerton, Swindell, and Weaver deliver strong performances, and Devonte Hynes’ romantic score with a slight edge of sombreness is nicely atmospheric...

It’s a classic ‘man in a room’ story that the writer/director so loves to tell; his expertise in sketching lonely men is naturally assured.

...a terrifically emotional film.

What (a kinder and gentler?) Schrader has crafted with 'Master Gardener' is a fable of redemption.

...Edgerton is a persuasive man of faith, sniffing handfuls of soil so deeply they leave a line along his upper lip, like chocolate milk.

Joel Edgerton broods in a drama that doesn't fully bloom.

...har en betagende, drømmende og eventyragtig kvalitet over sig.
