    More a collection of character vignettes than a full-blown story, Garden Party nonetheless shows as much promise for its makers as it gives to its characters.
  2. Although competently acted and directed, lacks a fresh point of view and its people lack individuality.

    It's familiar stuff if you've sampled the vast body of work devoted to LA-dammerung.

    The 1 point goes to a star-making turn by Jessica Havard, the rest of the cast is unwatchable and the directing is Korine level bad.

    So a screening of it and it was completely awful, not one redeeming quality. Bad script, acting, and direction.
