Well, that’s kind of what Schrader’s been doing on Facebook. For the past few years, He’s been playing movie critic with the latest releases. His movie opinions are fantastic and indeed Kael-esque in their frankness. In his latest social media post, Schrader decided to write about Edward Berger’s “All Quiet on the Western Front,” which I reviewed a few weeks ago: Back to Schrader, he premiered his latest, “Master Gardener,” at Venice in September and that was followed by a NYFF bow. The film still doesn’t have a US distributor, but I’m being told two companies are currently vying, competing, for it and a deal could be made before year’s end. “Master Gardener” wasn’t as well-reviewed as Schrader’s last two films (“First Reformed” and “The Card Counter”) so it’s definitely at a disadvantage, commercially speaking, without the full backing of critics this time around.
