Unbelievable

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2004)

When I first went into Garden State I was expecting an overrated sappy movie like ones I had seen many times before. However I can honestly say this was the best movie I have seen in a long long time. The camera work is flawless, the music choice amazing, and the acting took my breath away. How someone could actually criticize this movie is beyond me. I found Braffs directing brilliant and the way he interacted with Portman seemed so natural like they could be a real couple. This movie was heartfelt I have seen it twice and cried both times. Peter Sarsgaard's acting was pleasantly surprising and I cannot wait until he appears in more movies. I now see Zach Braff in a totally different view, with much more respect, and I have always loved him in Scrubs, but in a totally different way. I hope Braff continues creating.
A 15 out of 10, and I don't think I am allowed to score that high but it was just that amazing.
