Greenfingers (2000)
6/10
Passable quaint / twee Brit dramedy for when undemading viewing is desired
6 May 2023
In 'inspired by truth' 2000 Brit dramedy "Greenfingers" Clive Owen is a convicted murderer who's moved to an open prison (staffed by Warren Clarke, Lucy Punch, Peter Guinness et al) where with fellow inmates (inc Danny Dyer, David Kelly, Peterson Joseph & Adam Fogerty) he grows a lush flower garden (!) that catches the eye of celebrity horticulturalist Helen Mirren (& daughter Natasha Little) leading to an unexpected (but bumpy) path to redemption. The moral tone of writer / director Joel Hershman's tale is a tad skewed but it is quaint (to the point of twee tho). Far from Mirren or Owen's best, it's still lightly passable if some undemanding viewing is desired.
