It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Intriguing and mysterious, Wildflower is a story about healing and hope. It portrays characters with broken pasts, whose efforts to find the truth behind the disappearance of a local girl eventually lead them to resolve the struggles within their own hearts. Wildflower is a wonderful story about how faith and hope can help us transform and move beyond life's greatest tragedies.

This movie was entertaining, suspenseful and deals with topics that I think aren't shown enough in Hollywood today. It had a very interesting plot while still keeping a faithful undertone without being too overpowering. The dealing with mental illness was something that really made this movie stand out. I don't think it is represented enough today and this movie presented it without throwing it in the viewer's face. That is a topic that can't be fooled around with and Faith Street Films did a very good job representing it and showing it in a realistic, yet tasteful way. What I loved is how they use what she thought was a weakness and turn it around to become her biggest strength. The movie is an uplifting film for viewers, letting them know that with God, all things are possible and He is there in the darkest of times. I think this is an important film to put out there because a lot of times, it is exactly what people need sometimes. Overall, this movie had a very wholesome and meaningful storyline. I'd highly recommend this movie.

I do not really fathom some of the so low-rate review to this movie. I really enjoyed it, although its apparent "slow" rhythm and narration, I think it is a great psychological mystery thriller. I never felt bored one second as it draw my attention in any scene. The main character of the film, Chloe, and her psychological status is treated in an excellent way. You can understand her situation: a 20 years old girl coming from a lost and denied serene childhood, due to the big trauma of the loss of her father, and the act of neglecting of the mother who left her apart going after dating with few guys. The small child left alone and forgotten by the mother, (not to blame the mother though, as we will see later) often spends time on her own and even eyewitnesses a murder that upset her all the rest of the life until she finds someone who believe in her (Josh) when all the other characters seems considering her a crazy delusional person. (she is kept under control by the police for suspected drugs dependency because of her apparently mental behavior (the police threatens her to put her under "mental arrest"). she indeed has periodic visions that take her out in the night in a mental state of confusion and total disconnection from the reality. As said, in the end, when her beliefs were proved right, and the man she felt was the killer will be arrested, she and her mother start to regain a mutual trust (the mother though, is depicted in trying to regain her love and trust, but she still does not believe in her, and for this reasons, Chloe keeps taking distance from her) along with her friend (and maybe future boyfriend) Josh that, feeling something for the girl, also, he was the only one who felt she was right. He has an unconditioned faith in her. The film ends with a feeling that what she lacked for, love and trust, will finally accompanied her along her new life. Nothing more right the title "wild flower, a beautiful thing like a flower, that the cruel reality of the life has made "wild".

Got off to a slow start and almost gave up watching. But wanted to see how story incorporated "faith based" into the plot and it was basically using the same tropes seen over and over. I wasn't sure if this was a traditional drama almost like the old "ABC Afterschool Specials" of the 70's. But then it dove into this tension- filled, suspenseful section that almost alluded to a supernatural element to the plot (trying to not give any spoilers). So was a bit confused. I think directors/producers wanted to go for a faith-based story with more meat to it but it falls short. Actors performances lacked depth and didn't rise above material. Some of the writing was trite and very "on the nose" - a screen writing no-no. BUT good points: well shot. Good cinematography and liked small town America location.
