Reviews for The Garden of Allah
More a collection of character vignettes than a full-blown story, Garden Party nonetheless shows as much promise for its makers as it gives to its characters.
Nothing new in writer-director Jason Freeland's Garden Party, then, nor anything particularly insightful about the mercenary business of getting by and ahead out here.
It's familiar stuff if you've sampled the vast body of work devoted to LA-dammerung.
The stars talk gibberish in this romantic melodrama as if they have sand in their mouth.
