"Review: Paul Schrader's 'Master Gardener' Digs Deep"
TL;DR Summary
"Master Gardener" is the latest film from writer-director Paul Schrader, completing his accidental trilogy about men in search of grace in a brutal world. The film centers on Narvel Roth, played by Joel Edgerton, a solitary horticulturist who meets Maya, played by Quintessa Swindell, and experiences purgative violence and redemption. Despite its improbable premise, the film's tense dreaminess, pulpy undertow, and severe elegance make it fascinating and deeply affecting.
