“Black Garden” (* out of four) was an impenetrably dull story set in the future after World War III as a group of survivors fight to stay alive and one such survivor (Cara Culligan) makes contact with a radio broadcaster who she travels to meet but soon finds the real intentions of the other voice and what they have planned for her and the rest of the world. If you’re looking to kill time, this film beats it to death slowly and painfully. By the time you sort out the muddle, film is too boring for you to even care. Not even the black-and-white photography is particularly well captured which is a surprise because it was directed by noted cinematographer Shaun Wilson.
