Fleur sauvage

I ended up watching this movie, in part because of the positive individual reviews I read here, which seemed much more enthusiastic that the 6 rating attached to the movie, and I'm so glad I did. This was an uplifting, emotional, and funny indie drama with an earnestness that I appreciate so much. I thought the script was really well-written, weaving a story through a complex set of conditions and emotions, giving the characters weight, and interest, and complexity. I was rooting for them, and frustrated with them, and feeling compassion for them, and understanding their humanity, all from moment to moment. The casting was superb, and the performances from everyone were so solid, particularly Shipka, who is an actor of great depth, and I can't wait to see her career grow over the years. So many moments made me feel, and it's one of my favorite movies of the last decade.

Didn't know what to expect of this movie. The title sounds good and watched in on a plane. I was so pleasantly surprised with how good it is. It's not the usual challenges a teenager will face and the cast makes everything so believable. Great acting, good script and wonderful balance of family drama, emotions, comedy and a touch of romance. There are a few times I nearly tested up. The movie is well- paced and the comedy is good too as it keeps it light hearted amidst the sadness and fry you feel for the female lead in her challenges. Highly recommend to watch and it's watchable together with your family too.

"Wildflower" is a movie based on a true story about family love and family dynamics.

The story starts kind of bumpy, but finds its rythm quickly, as it moves from the current timeline, in which Bea is in the hospital and her family along with a social worker are trying to piece together what happened, to the past as Bea herself narrates her life's story from her parents marriage to her birth, to her having to take care of them.

The movie overall is enjoyable and the pace of it was nicely handled, as to not confuse the viwer with the back and forths of the timeline. The performances were good as well.

I cried 4 times, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I'll do it again in a heartbeat. I will absolutely be watching this movie again, but I probably won't need to anytime soon, because it's one of those that will stick with you for a while. This movie pulls on your heart strings, while giving you that warm fuzzy feeling with its heartfelt moments. The acting is great and the soundtrack is perfect. I found myself wanting to Shazam every other song. Don't be afraid to happy/sad/whatever you feel like cry because it will be worth it. To find out that this was based off a true story made it hit even harder! Do yourself a favor and watch it now :)

This was another film I watched without knowing anything about it. The only star I knew from it was Jackie Weaver. It's a film about 2 people with learning disabilities who marry and have a baby, and the lives they all lead. Based on a true story.

It speaks volumes about the way our society sees each other. About what normal is and should be, and that just because you're seen to have a disability, doesn't mean you can't live a better life with someone considered not to have one.

There's a huge statement n here about people who wish to be what they consider to be normal and acceptable in society, and yet they seem to have the lives most flawed and unsatisfying.

It's beautifully written and flawlessly directed and I absolutely loved it.

Shipka who plays Bea absolutely rocks the role. I'll be looking for more from her. Dash Mihok and Samantha Hyde were way down the cast list and yet their performances were so strong throughout. Hyde was flawless.

Don't miss this.
