So I have finally seen The Constant Gardner, and I loved it. The film was intriguing and visually appealing. While watching this film you really get caught up in the story. The film is about a widower named Justin Quayle, played by Ralph Fiennes, who must get to the bottom of his wife’s death (Tessa, portrayed by Rachel Weisz). The further he gets to the truth, the more danger his own life, and the lives of people around him are put in danger.
After Justin is sent to Kenya on a mission for the Queen, his pregnant wife who is an activist who sticks with what she believes in. Tessa discovers a very dirty secret about the pharmaceutical companies, and the fact that are benefiting from the AIDS virus as well as other diseases that are ripping through Africa. Justin as he gets deeper to the bottom of the corporate corruption he realizes that he can trust no one, including his coworkers.
I though that this film was just so good. It had beautiful scenery throughout the film, and the characters stories were very interesting, even characters that were only in it for 5 minutes. This film may be a drama, but really it was a love story, about a man who would do anything for love.
The one thing that I find surprising is that Rachel Weisz keeps winning all the Best Supporting Actress awards (at both the SAGS and the Golden Globes), but no one else from the film is being nominated. Fiennes was amazing, I don’t think that he is getting the recognition that he deserves for this role. Even the supporting cast did an excellent job, including, Bill Nighy and Danny Huston. I would recommend this film to any, without reservation.
