The Constant Gardener

This love story/political thriller mashup just didn't do it for me. There is no buildup of a relationship between the two lovers, they just jump right into it. Yes, pharmaceutical companies are evil I get it

Left a bit underwhelmed, honestly. I did think that Fiennes and the cinematography were excellent, but just never got as engrossed in the story as so many other seems to have been. It happens sometimes, I guess... I can certainly understand why so many responded to it as they did.

Phil Worfel

Much has been made of Weisz's performance here but Fiennes also delivers a quiet and heartbreaking performance that play brilliant counterpoint to his romantic opposite. Showed that Meirelles wasn't a one hit wonder.

Lorna Singh

An engrossing suspense,not just about greed and corruption,but also a love story. Excellent performances.

Pierluigi Puccini

Meirelles approaches again his pseudo-documentary/video-clip style for this political thriller with cunning screenplay and solid performances.

Tessa must not be forgotten. Undying love at it´s purest form must not be forgotten. The lessons on this movie should not be forgotten. Pity that money makes all forget about somethings... Beautiful movie. Very touching. Great acting and direction.

Rashed

Seamlessly combines political intrigue and suspense with one of the most disarming romances ever put to film. The cinematography is breathtaking and the character development is slow paced but very enduring. A powerful film that requires multiple viewings to fully appreciate, this one resonates in your head long after it's done, it's a sure keeper. And what's more, Rachel and Ralph are pretty close to flawless here.

A rather rush adaptation of the book. Had I not read the latter, it would have been extremely difficult for me to understand the unraveling of the plot. But it was a tiresome experience all the same - the characters were inadequately depicted, the importance of the main idea too emphatically given away and it is a shame cause the cast was really appropriate.
