Master Gardener (2023)

Narvel, a quiet man, is in charge of the gardening staff at a large estate. The owner is a dowager who calls him "sweet pea" and occasionally calls him up to the main house for a meal and a fuck. She seems especially titillated by his array of white-power tattoos. When she allows her mixed-race great niece a spot on the gardening staff, things get complicated.

This film succeeds only on its mood. It's well-acted, but I couldn't ever find the point. Also, I'm generally put off by romantic age gaps that can be counted in decades and this story has two of them.
