The Garden Ratings & Reviews
Gay Community News (Boston)
Michael Bronski
Not all of The Garden is easy or pleasing, but Jarman's intelligence and honesty shine through every frame.
The Spool
B.L. Panther
It's an anarchic montage of images, sounds, and dialogue that presents Jarman's final indictment of organized religion.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Mr. Jarman's visual sense easily eclipses his conceptual talents. And The Garden has a burning, kaleidoscopic energy to compensate for the facile nature of some of its more unavoidable thoughts.
OutWeek
Karl Soehnlein
The Garden is a film of many moods, alternately peaceful and disturbing, ethereal and familiar, but as with many of Jarman's films, it is also often frustratingly abstract, cryptically symbolic and resolutely self-referential.
Philadelphia Gay News
Gary M. Kramer
"The Garden" is spellbinding throughout. Shot on Super-8, 16mm, and video, the film is both raw and sensual. Pleasure comes as vivid images wash across the screen and the audience... [A] heady mix of sadness and fury.
Screen Slate
Caroline Golum
The Garden can feel at times like a cosmic home movie.
Slant Magazine
Pat Brown
Derek Jarman's 1990 film isn't without hope that we can regrow a paradise.
