Wildflower

The characters in this film... too often feel like their dialogue and behavior has been cut-and-pasted from other quirky indie dramedies.

A sweet yet straightforward coming of age drama.

A terrific cast can only do so much with superficial, maudlin material in the coming-of-age dramedy “Wildflower.”

“Wildflower” is a nervy sit, a movie that eventually makes its way toward acceptance, but only after putting its disabled characters through the trial of dehumanizing questions.

Might not be a radical departure from films of its type, but it does offer buoyant performances from both fresh and familiar faces.

The picture explores the chaos and confusion of extended families which find themselves with a common goal but no consensus on how to achieve it. It practically vibrates with the force of its good intentions.

... A warm, sincere, and, above all, intimate film. [Full review in Spanish]

A beautiful biopic that highlights that we must be proud of who we are and where we come from. [Full review in Spanish]

This movie is a celebration of independence and living the best lives possible, no matter the obstacles, and no matter how corny that notion by itself might be.

Wildflower navigates the thornier aspects of its subject matter reasonably well, which balances out its corny sentiment and broad characterizations. As heavy-handed coming-of-age stories go, it could be worse...
