Zach Braff was always aware of the criticism of his 2004 movie Garden State.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Zach Braff was the toast of the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, where he emerged as an indie film wunderkind thanks to “Garden State.” The coming-of-age dramedy sold to Fox Searchlight for $5 million, double its production budget, and became a poster child for hip indies of the early aughts thanks to its Grammy-winning soundtrack and quirky characters.

Nearly 20 years after the film’s debut, Braff confronted the backlash head on in a new interview with The Independent.
