Summary: Reasons for my 4 stars
Review: Okay, this movie was slow, even boring at times, and the sex scenes were kind of pathetic, but if you are into cinematography, believe me, "Wildflowers" would have won an Oscar for it. If you are a Daryl Hannah fan, don't worry, she's prettier than ever. And if you are curious about Clea DuVall, well, she's proven all her potentials for stardom in this movie. So, 2 stars go to the Bay Area beauties, 1 to Daryl and 1 to Clea.

Summary: float among paint and freedom to become the truth....
Review: So many of us long for a freedom that we can only dream about, and sometimes that is just what we need...to dream about it. A young free child coming to an age where life standing still is not an option, realizes that something is missing. The freedom of the colors and the story that link you to your own feelings and desires help to illuminate the feelings of the young lady. It is in others that we see, and learn, about ourselves...and this movie is a beautiful piece of art that can help us reflect the beauty and free spirit that resides inside of us all...

Summary: disappointing
Review: This film gave me the feeling that it could have been both good and interesting if it had beendone by someone with a pulse. The acting talent is there and the story seemed like it could have been interesting, but this film is slow and boring. Each scene seems to go on endlessly. Each plot point is unendingly belabored. There are numerous inexplicable scenes which only serve to muddle up the story line further. By the time the film moves from one plot point to another you've nearly forgotten what came before. This film left me scratching my head trying to figure out what happened. Completely forgettable. Forget it.

Summary: One Of The Few
Review: This movie is one of the few done about the Counterculture of the 60's that gives an accurate feeling both of some of the people of that era nearly 20 years later and of the era itself. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand something of the 60's.

Summary: Don't waste your precious time on this film!
Review: This movie was so horrible that I feel it would be morally wrong for me to withhold my opinion of it. It made me feel that it is my duty to inform the public of how atrocious it is. The acting of Daryl Hannah was pathetically dramatic. She gave the impression of a combination of helplessness and wanting to seduce everything that she was confronted with. Acting was dry. I felt bad for Clea DuVall. I pictured her thinking, "Why am I doing this horrible movie." The script was random and fake. Scenes that had absolutely no relevance appeared out of nowhere. There was some nice cinematography, but that doesn't make the film worth watching. Don't waste your time!

Summary: Predictable... but beautiful none-the-same.
Review: This story tells the friendship between 2 women - one young tomboy-ish girl and an older beautiful woman. The story leads to very predictable places, but Clea DuVall and Darryl Hannah are each absolutely stunning. A fan (more of an obsessor) of Clea DuVall, I HAD to have this film - and it is FAR better than the Astronaut's Wife or Little Witches - but not nearly as good as Girl, Interrupted or But I'm a Cheerleader.
I'd only recommend this to people who want to watch acting, and don't need a very interesting story.

Summary: Art
Review: Wildflowers is about 17-year-old Cally's search for her past. She was raised on a commune by hippies in the 1960's (the movie is set in 1985), and now she lives with her father. She's been told little about her mother, except that she had to leave Cally and her father because she got in trouble for her political activities. Cally becomes convinced that the woman she meets in San Francisco (Daryl Hannah) is her mother, and she tries to become friends with the woman. As she learns more about the woman and her father, she also begins to understand herself better. The story is simple and straight forward, and the style and acting are extremely low-key. Although the movie is not great by any standards, it is fairly likeable. Look fast for a quick appearance by Blue's Traveller. Overall, a very average small-budget film.
