The Constant Gardener Reviews

TheConstantGardenerPoster.jpgThe Constant Gardener is probably your best choice for a night at the movies this week (although I’m most looking forward to seeing Transporter to for some reason that I can’t explain).

I’m a big fan of Ralph Fiennes. I’ve yet to see the man turn in a poor performance… he’s just money.

So now the critics are sounding in. For the most part the reviews look pretty positive… mostly anyway. Here’s what they had to say:

“The Constant Gardener is a movie with something to say, and it speaks its message loudly and with eloquence.”
James Berardinelli, REELVIEWS

“A preachy but gripping socio-political thriller…directed by Fernando Meirelles with the same unblinking, sweaty, ground-level grittiness he brought to City of God.”
Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE

“If it sends audiences home to log on to the Amnesty International website, terrific — but that still doesn’t make it a very good movie.”
Ty Burr, BOSTON GLOBE

“This is one of the year’s best films.”
Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

As of this moment, The Constant Gardener is holding a 79% rating on Rotten Tomatoes which makes it this weeks critics choice. But a poor marketing campaign has me doubting many people will see it. We’ll see.
