Master Gardener, 2022 - ★★★

If you've seen First Reformed and/or The Card Counter, then you've seen this movie. It's still pretty entertaining and Joel Edgerton gives a great stoic performance, but it's a minor Schrader work for sure.

One of my pet peeves is when a conflict in a film can be resolved with just a couple lines of dialogue but it's not. That happens in this film. I don't wanna spoil it so I won't say, but that part definitely annoyed me a bit. Also, a few plot points seem a bit ridiculous but I was along for the ride and had a good time.

There's also a pretty major plothole that had me scratching my head, but again, I'll keep this spoiler-free.
