‘Master Gardener’ a thought-proving thriller from Paul Schrader

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:01:50 GMT

MOVIE REVIEW“Master Gardener”Rated R. At the Coolidge Corner.Grade: B Writer-director Paul Schrader is best known as the writer of the landmark Martin Scorsese masterpiece “Taxi Driver” (1976) – the film that immortalized the line, “You talkin’ to me?” – and the writer-director of such films as “American Gigolo” (1980), “Cat People” (1982), “Affliction” (1997) and more recently “First Reformed” (2017). At 76, Schrader now delivers “Master Gardener,” a “First Reformed”-like third film in a trilogy including “First Reformed” (2017) and “The Card Counter” (2021), all featuring deeply troubled protagonists.
