A Constant Gardener Review


I saw this movie with my sister in Tacoma. It was the third time she watched it. I will either have to read the book or see the movie again as I wasn't able to remember any of the gardening related comments.

The movie will be hard to watch again as it is very sad. John Le Carré has written a very haunting love story. With the Cold War ended, or shall I say uncovered, the real villain is poverty and the unscrupulous that take advantage of it.

The directors of this movie was able portray the violence and love without being overly graphic. Ralph Fiennes was excellent in his role as a man who leaves his garden to find out what happened to his controversial wife and her friend in Kenya.
The music is great.

I give this movie 4.5/5 acorns.
