Merely a collection of ominously framed images devoid of purpose. Go to Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 09/08/2016
Mostly ... "The People Garden" is so slow and spare that it barely registers. It just floats through the forest, silent and bloodless. Go to Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy 08/06/2018
Everyone who watches this film can take something away from this cinematic experience, from admiring Litz's directorial choices to lusting after Hemingway's wardrobe, do try to put The People Garden on your list of under the radar, must-see movies.
