We watched Greenfingers on Amazon Prime. Being gardeners and believers in redemption, it attracted our interest. Happily, it was all that we wanted: often amusing and emotive with snappy dialogue, fluid acting and lovely cinematography. I could have done without the flash forward at the movie's opening, which confused me and got in the way as I puzzled over it. Otherwise, the narrative flows and gives the viewer an easy ride. Old pro actors lend sentiment and spice. Younger actors do well in supporting roles, too. Hunky Clive Owen, who is the main protagonist, has a low-key charisma throughout while transforming in a believable fashion. This is a "feel good" movie in the best sense, one that has humanity and humor without cloying sentiment. It ends with a twist that's cinema heaven.
