A masterful example of restraint and discipline.

Rating: 10/10 (18 August 2004)

There are so many good things to say about Zach Braff's Garden State (most of which has been covered by the other reviews of this movie). The most exceptional aspect of the film is the script's incredibly believable and unexceptional dialogue. The movie is a near perfect replication everyday life.
The first time I saw Garden State I was continually expecting the kind of ridiculous plot twist that has become so common in modern cinema. However, Zach Braff is able to follow through with the film's brilliant and extraordinary simplicity, which is its greatest asset. Such a great example of directorial restraint and discipline should be commended. Braff is certain to become one of the great directors of our time.
