Real, poignant and brilliantly done.

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2011)

I never had an IMDb account until I read some of the user submitted reviews on here which dramatically moved me to inject a degree of sense into the apparently helpless minds on here.
Garden State is a touching, emotional and above all else REAL film that apparently lacks a certain degree of message and pace for the people obviously incensed at having not 'got' the film first time around and desire to verbally bash it.
The simple low budget poignancy of its narrative about the embracing of life and shedding the fear of what else may come from it is something relevant and brilliantly done by Braff's slow, focused and apt script and direction. Getting slowly to the point much like how slow the character has been in getting to this point in which he is ready to shed all else and embrace life.
Some people don't like films, I get that, but I implore all people reading the reviews on here to not listen to the imbaciles giving it a verbal battering when it deserves all 1 1/2 hours of your time.
