Meditative in its slowness and exquisite beauty, Portrait of a Garden is more than a fine documentary — it's a balm for the soul.

The vision of nature being lovingly tended in Rosie Stapel’s documentary, Portrait of a Garden, is remarkably evocative.

Portrait of a Garden‘s distance from its human subjects forestalls the film’s momentum and strips it of a heart.

For those less interested in horticultural matters, however, this Dutch documentary is akin to, well, watching plants grow. The sort of film frequently described as "meditative," it produces a calming but ultimately soporific effect.
