- 100The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Brad WheelerThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Brad WheelerCabot's meticulously and ambitiously designed Les Quatre Vents in bucolic Quebec is the star attraction, but Luc St. Pierre's score is magical and the interviewees are in their best chatty grooves.
- 70Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLos Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThis is a soothing and transporting journey sure to inspire gardeners of all stripes to create their own slice of heaven.
- 50The New York TimesHelen T. VerongosThe New York TimesHelen T. VerongosOverall The Gardener is flat and lacking in soul, a word that comes up many times in the movie.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe central figure in Sebastien Chabot's documentary exhibits undeniable passion. Describing the object of his adoration, he comes across an intelligent, articulate and more than a little long-winded. Whether or not you'll enjoy hearing him expound at length will depend on how interested you are in gardens.
