Magnolia Pictures today released the official trailer (below) for Paul Schrader’s upcoming Master Gardner starring Joel Edgerton, Sigourney Weaver, Quintessa Swindell, and Esai Morales. Written by Academy Award nominee Paul Schrader (First Reformed), the film tells the story of a man “tormented by his past as a white supremacist gun-for-hire, which captures the racial tensions of contemporary America.”
Synopsis
Master Gardner follows Narvel Roth (award-winner Joel Edgerton), the meticulous horticulturist of Gracewood Gardens. He is as much devoted to tending the grounds of this beautiful and historic estate, to pandering to his employer, the wealthy dowager Mrs. Haverhill (Sigourney Weaver). When Mrs. Haverhill demands that he take on her wayward and troubled great-niece Maya (Quintessa Swindell) as a new apprentice, chaos enters Narvel’s spartan existence, unlocking dark secrets from a buried violent past that threaten them all.
Although not initially envisaged as a trilogy, Master Gardener marks the culmination of a tryptic of films that began in 2017 with First Reformed. Like The Card Counter (2021) before it, Master Gardener is a bold new take on Schrader’s ‘man in a room’ narratives, where a lonely figure, wrestling with his past and hiding behind his day job, waits for something to change.

Master Gardner will be released in theaters on May 19th, 2023.
