"Review: Paul Schrader's 'Master Gardener' is a Thoughtful Thriller"

"Master Gardener" is Paul Schrader's new film about a man named Narvel Roth, played by Joel Edgerton, who works at a botanical garden and has a special relationship with the owner, played by Sigourney Weaver. When he is asked to look after the owner's niece, Maya, played by Quintessa Swindell, Narvel becomes fond of her and tries to help her out of a difficult situation. The film is emotionally charged and features remarkable performances from the cast, including a Bressonian-style performance from Weaver. The insinuating score by Devonte Hynes adds to the film's magic and plant imagery.
