Flower

Bin it in the same place you put your bouquet from Valentine's Day.

Deutch burns up the screen in ways that are so passionately multifaceted I was dumbstruck by all of the emotional nuances she was able to mine with such aggressively calming ease.

Everyone here is simply a mismanaged thing to be moved around an isn't-that-shocking storyboard as needed. It's a shame, as Deutch shows real commitment to a role that demands the exact opposite ...

There isn't a single kernel of emotional truth to be found in "Flower," a lamentable dark comedy that treats subjects such as teen suicide, pedophilia and drug use with the nuance of a jackhammer.

As a starring vehicle for [Zoey] Deutch, Flower is an aromatic concoction, but as a thorny coming-of-age story the film's buds wither on the vine.

Deutch's portrayal of Erica is truly impressive, giving us a fully fleshed character who's both vulnerable and remorseless.

Empathizing with toxic personalities and very preventable poor choices is a tough sell, no matter the attempts at charm.

What I immediately loved about Flower is that Winkler does not shy away from letting the audience know where he is taking his film from the opening moments.

The beauty of Flower is less in its wonky storyline and more in its effervescent performances.

Bold, funny yet disturbingly honest film that takes difficult to love characters and makes you love them.
