If you loved The Card Counter, try Master Gardener

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Master Gardener has roughly 3.3× fewer votes than The Card Counter — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Paul Schrader, and they sit in Crime / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Card Counter, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Master Gardener is

Gracewood Gardens. Late spring. A trowel. Roth calmly cultivates flora, quietly tolerating his employer's whims. The arrival of her troubled niece soon unearths Roth's own buried life as a government assassin. Schrader continues exploring male rage.
