Leave your thoughts about Master Gardener.
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyDespite its general tenor of quietude (which breaks in a confrontation scene that reminds you why yes, Schrader is also the writer of the film “Rolling Thunder”), Master Gardener is, among other things, a terrifically emotional film. |
| The Irish TimesTara BradyAt 76, more than 20 films into his storied career, Paul Schrader can still deliver a sucker punch. |
| The New York TimesManohla DargisPart of the kick of “Master Gardener” is that the writer-director Paul Schrader manages to pull off this improbable movie. It shouldn’t work and, even after seeing it twice, I don’t think that it entirely does, which only makes it more fascinating and strengthens its power. |
| The Film StageRory O'ConnorMaster Gardener is another of the old Calvanist’s prayers of absolution—honest and personal to a fault, and a satisfying close to one of the great contemporary trilogies. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe pace of Master Gardener is measured, but there’s nothing relaxing about it. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThis isn’t just his road to redemption story. Master Gardener is about planting seeds, culling dead or dying branches and making room for new growth. |
| TheWrapTomris LafflyIn the end, Master Gardener is ripe with seeds of ideas on the verge of blossoming into something beguiling, maybe even generously healing. What a way for Schrader to close the loop on his long line of tortured men. |
| Total FilmJane CrowtherThough it’s not Schrader’s finest work and requires political leaps of faith that can be compared to American History X and could be called simplistic, Master Gardener is still an auteur operating at the top of the league. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzIn Schrader’s strong, meditative hands, everything gels together to create an entrancing work that is serious and, very nearly, profound. |
| Screen DailyJonathan RomneyFor all the film’s provocations, both serious and mischievous, it’s a remarkably elegant, subtle piece. |
