Re: Master Gardener
Thankfully Paul Schrader has come a long way since Dying of the Light, but Master Gardener is still far from a good film. There's things to like; it's a nice and tidy, well-shot independent film with recognizable faces in Joel Edgerton and Sigourney Weaver. But it is slow and rather uneventful. It needed two or three action scenes, and to shift its focus slightly towards the threats they face rather than overcoming a past life (which in itself isn't really even explored). I also didn't really buy into the metaphorical nature at times where it uses horticultural narration applied to the film's situation/characters.
Out of Schrader's last three movies, which are each slow-moving dramas with well-known leading men, I enjoyed The Card Counter the most. First Reformed is good, but Master Gardener should've been the best one on paper.
