Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Best movie of this year hands down!

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Casey Duggan
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Rodrigo Amaro
Another experiment from Portuguese pioneer Aurélio da Paz dos Reis, among his 35 other films all directed in 1896. The man who brought the film experience to Portugal presents in "No Jardim" ("In the Garden") one acrobat in the foreground doing some acrobats in a trapeze (impressive movements and even more impressive the way it was filmed cause it feels like a visual effect despite the old-standard still cameras) and other acrobats performing other things in the background. And again, another important historical treasure from Portugal's cinema still existing and available. No more than that. Holds a nice quality, the images, but it's just another experimentation the director wanted to see what he could get with his camera. Thumbs up! 7/10
