Alexandra Kotcheff and Hannah Leder wrote, directed, starred in, and even did most of the crew work for this intriguing dark comedy, which is better than it has any business being.

3/5

Odd. Quirky. Deliberately stilted at times. Colourfully shot with interesting camera angles. Filled with eccentric characters. Could be set in a couple of different decades. An interesting look at mental health.

[U]npredictable, original, and definitely wacky ... Even if people don't want to think too deeply about the symbolism and metaphors in The Planters, the movie is entertaining for the contrasting performances of [Alexandra] Kotcheff and [Hannah] Leder.
