Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Do these heartbreaking stories exist in the real world? Yes, yes, they do. Does dramatizing these stories with nothing to add except a certain cruel wallowing in the existence of unspeakable human depravity serve any real purpose? No, no, it does not.

rotten:
Writer-director Jared Harris (and actor and son of the late Richard Harris) claims to have spent 10 years researching this sordid milieu, yet, for all the detail, it ends up playing like an especially lurid '80s TV movie.

Gardens of the Night is a harrowing story of kidnapping and forced child prostitution that conjures a world entirely populated by predators and prey.

fresh:
Good acting and sincere direction by Damian Harris act as beacons to light the haunting corridors of an underworld spook house.

rotten:
Ferociously queasy-making for its first half before flatlining into banality.
