It feels like a set - not a place that a real human being lives. The house, though grand, is also sparse in its décor. There even is a palpable (and, I’d imagine, intentional) artificiality to the whole endeavor, creating an unease that looms over the most mundane and superficially pleasant interactions.
There’s even a big charity auction coming up that she and the gardening staff are intensely focused on.īut this being a Schrader film (he wrote and directed), it is mostly window dressing. She also has a horticulturist (Joel Edgerton) in her employ who she occasionally calls on for extracurricular, indoor activities. Sigourney Weaver is a wealthy dowager with a stately name (Norma Haverhill), a large house and a dog she’s named porch dog. Paul Schrader plants the seeds of an intriguing melodrama in his latest creation “ Master Gardener.”
