    **Blu-ray Review: Master Gardener (2022)**

    *Director: Paul Schrader*
    *Starring: Joel Edgerton, Sigourney Weaver*

    **Plot/Story: 8/10**

    Paul Schrader, renowned for his profound storytelling, once again delves deep into the psyche of his characters with “Master Gardener”. A meticulous horticulturist (Edgerton) is put in a compromising position when he’s thrust into the world of his employer’s troubled great-niece, revealing dark secrets from a violent past. The juxtaposition of the serene, lush gardens and the tumultuous emotional landscape of its characters provides a vivid backdrop for a compelling story.

    **Performances: 8.5/10**

    Joel Edgerton delivers a memorable performance as the diligent horticulturist, while Sigourney Weaver is magnetic as the imperious dowager. Their chemistry is palpable, drawing the audience into their entangled lives. Weaver’s portrayal is especially noteworthy, reminding us once again why she’s one of the industry’s most revered actresses.

    **Direction: 8/10**

    Paul Schrader’s signature touch is evident throughout the film. His ability to balance slow-burning tension with moments of raw emotional outburst adds layers to the narrative, and the camera work in the sprawling gardens is particularly mesmerizing.

    **Video Quality: 4.5/5**

    The Blu-ray’s 1080p resolution captures the lushness and detail of the gardens, making it a visual treat. The color palette is vibrant and well balanced, and the original aspect ratio of 2.39:1 allows for some exquisite panoramic shots.

    **Audio Quality: 4/5**

    The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 provides a rich soundscape. The rustling of leaves, chirping of birds, and subtle nuances of the garden come alive, enveloping the viewer. Dialogues are crisp and clear, and the score subtly accentuates the movie’s intense moments.

    **Extras: N/A**

    No extras are mentioned, which is a shame considering the potential behind-the-scenes content and interviews that fans might have appreciated.

    **Overall: 8/10**

    “Master Gardener” is a beautifully crafted crime thriller that delves into the human psyche amidst a backdrop of nature’s beauty. While the lack of extras on the Blu-ray might be disappointing for some, the film itself, bolstered by strong performances and Schrader’s direction, makes it a worthy addition to one’s collection.

    Would recommend for fans of character-driven dramas and those who appreciate the aesthetics of nature intertwined with human emotions.
