The best thing you can say about Trouble in the Garden is that it's well-intentioned.

Jorge Ignacio Castillo

Planet S Magazine

In classic first feature fashion, the film, at times, is too precious and the dialogue stilted. But it taps into the righteous anger of Indigenous people over broken promises.

Rated: 3/5

This is a devastating defense of those stolen children and a well-crafted, beautifully acted, heartbreaking film.

The performances in Trouble in the Garden are excellent. I wasn't expecting such a powerful film when I saw it at Cinefest last year. Like many in the audience, I had no idea about the 60s Scoop. This is a film that has stayed with me.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
