Everyone can find peace in a garden.......2007-01-19
Who wouldn't like this movie: great cast, great music, and the most beautiful flowers I've seen in a long time! Most people are only paying attention to Helen Mirren and Clive Owen, but I really enjoyed the performance of Warren Clarke and the actor who played Raw.
For people who liked Helen Mirren as the two Elizabeths, this movie is a sure hit.
Funny, Sweet and Inspiring.......2006-11-24
Ever since The Full Monty, the British have become the main producers of quirky, unusual comedies about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. Of course, some of them work better than others; Greenfingers works very well indeed. The plot is funny, the writing avoids predictable turns and cliches, and Helen Mirren and Clive Owen lead a wonderful cast. That this movie is inspired by a real story only makes me want to recommend it even more.
Enjoyable, but tries a little too hard to be cute!.......2006-05-29
Greenfingers is a story of redemption by horticulture. Clive Owens does a good job of portraying a man imprisoned since he was 18 years old for murder, who ultimately is redeemed by discovering that he can foster life in the garden. At times Owens is too cold and distant--his portrayal would have been better if he had brought a little more variation in his emotional state.
The supporting cast of British character actors do a nice job and are charming and sympathetic. Mirren plays the English matriarch with aplomb but overdoes it a little--just like the screen play which tries a little too hard to be cute at times. The major problem with the movie was a poor soundtrack--it was not well matched with the emotional content of the scenes.
This was a movie that had a lot of potential that did not quite become fulfilled.
The gardening: a point of honor!.......2006-03-07
From time to time the British Cinema shows us treasured pictures where the superb inventiveness of solid and original script shake hands with the British scent and the glamorous visual seduction.
It `s useless to talk about the prestigious level of acting. The most notable feature of this engaging movie resides precisely in the ambiguity of their characters. It is far to be a lineal story; you may realize every one of them is absolutely persuaded and even convinced of the secure triumph in this unbalanced handicap at the moment to establish originality and presence.
The whole weight of the anecdote is what bestows it this diamantine profile. Elegant, seductive and fabulous cinematography support a sensitive and simple story. Helen Mirren once more, steals the show, Clive Owen is superb and Natasha Little is a young promise to take into account in next films. Do not forget her name.

It was very sweet and funny. I think what I loved most about it (besides Clive Owen) is that it is based on a true story. It even had moments that made my boyfriend laugh out loud (rather rare for a chick flick).
