Awesome Movie

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

While this film won't be winning any major awards in the near future, the plot kept me guessing, the acting was solid, and the message was thoroughly uplifting. A very solid Christian film.

This was the sort of movie that was worth watching, but I wouldn't watch it again...if you know what I mean. The actor who most held my attention, although he didn't play a major role, was Kevin McCorkle. He delivered lines that in lesser hands would have come across as clichés and flat ones at that. And yet there was a sincerity in the delivery that made them ring true, and meaningful. Several times during the movie I said to my wife, "Who is the guy playing the detective, and why haven't we seen him before?"If any casting people are reading this, I would love to see him again! This time in a bigger role!

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.

Have you ever felt like God has let you down? Have you ever hit rock bottom in life and just don't know how you can possibly rise up again? We have all gotten there in my opinion. We may even get there again. We are human. We get scared, we feel alone, we get confused, and our emotions take us away. I watched a movie that brings all that home. WILDFLOWER shows us that we are never as alone as we feel, and we will rise above!WILDFLOWER is definitely a MUST SEE. I can't even stress that enough! I am recommending this movie right and left. If you love psychological thrillers you will LOVE this movie.I personally am a big movie buff. I love all movies. In our house we even have a weekly family movie night. We watch movies with the kids and then when they are in bed me and hubby watch our own movies. That said, from my standards, this is by far one of the best movies I have seen in quite some time! Now me and my husband watched this alone, as our children are young. This movie did further show that as parents we all need to be very present, active, and invested in our children's lives. We need to talk with them daily, and stay connected. I cannot stress that enough. It is extremely important, and this movie drives that further home.I was definitely on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. My heart raced, my brain raced, I was captured! Wildflower caught my attention immediately and the movie held my attention until the very end. There is so much suspense, drama, plot twists, friendship, family, and faith. I never could guess what would happen next, and I was shocked through it all. This is a positively riveting movie experience that will set you off on a roller-coaster of emotions. The scenes were great, the actors and actresses did a fantastic job! This movie wins every award possible in my book.It is a clean movie which is just amazing. Especially for Christian families out there. It is so hard to find a GOOD clean movie to watch that includes faith. There is pure genius behind this film, and there is no other way to put it. The way such a situation can be kept clean, and remain as riveting as this deserves a standing ovation. This is a great movie for teens and adults. I wouldn't go younger than teen years because it is a pretty intense movie. It is rated PG-13. I love that this movie doesn't just provide entertainment. It provides hope! No matter our darkest hour God is with us, and we are not alone. We cannot lose our faith, and we cannot lose our hope. But if we do along one of life's hard roads He will be there with open arms to welcome us back. It never rains forever. I can see this movie providing so many out there with hope, faith, and courage. It isn't easy to touch down on trauma subjects like this movie does, but WILDFLOWER does an excellent job. This movie far surpassed my expectations.Disclaimer: I received two complimentary copies of this DVD from Icon Media Group. One is for review purposes, and the other for giveaway.
