Thanks for the comment, Zasa. I think the movie is very targeted to a specific audience, and unfortunately (for a host of reasons), I fall outside its appeal. Maybe I’m too old, too European …

I agree with you that the movie definitely has a certain appeal for the twenty-somethings. At the same time, I felt the story itself could have benefited from a more pronounced conflict.

In essence, this is a maturation story and a key ingredient is the conflict between the person and the establishment - be it parents, school, work, etc. I didn’t see a lot of conflict in that regard. It was essentially the love sub-plot that carried the movie and gave it some sense of conclusion.

Interesting idea that the “Garden State” had something to do with “Vegetative State”.

Personally, I think there’s something ironic in the name “Garden State”. I’ve only been to the area around NYC, and there’s little in the way of gardens. Very industrial.

I enjoyed the film though since it struck a personal chord with me as I was going through a quarter life crisis.
