Garden State reviews

Garden State holds a 7.1/10 average from 2,149 TMDB ratings.

Interesting and sometimes funny but with an aim of being more transcendental than what it actually is.
— Andres Gomez (6/10)

Finally a Natalie Portman and Zach Braff performance I can get behind!

Andrew returns to his hometown for his mother’s funeral, a journey that reconnects him with old friends. The trip coincides with his decision to stop taking his powerful antidepressants. A chance meeting with Sam—a girl also struggling with various maladies—opens up the possibility of rekindling emotional connections, confronting his psychologist father, and perhaps beginning a new life.
