Wildflower

First things first, Wildflower is a good movie that has fallen victim to misrepresentation. As some of the other reviews have indicated, this movie has been mislabeled under the thriller category on netflix. Once you get past that, you will see that this isn't a thriller that missed it's mark, but rather it's a faith based drama that is well directed with some great cinematography.

This is a beautiful heartfelt movie. Performances were great, music was wonderful. I Ioved it.

The film was recommended by Netflix as part of thriller Friday... not entirely sure why.

The film gets off to a slow start and never really picks up and speed. It's starts with a random half story of the male lead which is loosely referee back to at points. All of a sudden it gets to the female lead with no introduction or back story.

It's a very safe film and somehow they manage to solve a 12 year old missing person case when we all know from cold case about the hard evidence you need before you can make any arrests.

It was all very miraculous, possibly aimed at Christian youth ministry movie nights, with plenty of moral story and no sign of ethnic minorities, no alcohol, swearing or even the faintest suggestion of sex.

This movie may not be a major thriller, but it is a Christian film with a good story. The Christian theme is not over-bearing either. It is a good story about a woman dealing with some rough experiences, and the faith is the underlying piece that gives the characters strength.

It deals with an unsolved murder and traumatizing childhood experiences, but ultimately it is a movie about hope even in the worst of circumstances.

This movie was entertaining, suspenseful and deals with topics that I think aren't shown enough in Hollywood today. It had a very interesting plot while still keeping a faithful undertone without being too overpowering. The dealing with mental illness was something that really made this movie stand out. I don't think it is represented enough today and this movie presented it without throwing it in the viewer's face. That is a topic that can't be fooled around with and Faith Street Films did a very good job representing it and showing it in a realistic, yet tasteful way. What I loved is how they use what she thought was a weakness and turn it around to become her biggest strength. The movie is an uplifting film for viewers, letting them know that with God, all things are possible and He is there in the darkest of times. I think this is an important film to put out there because a lot of times, it is exactly what people need sometimes. Overall, this movie had a very wholesome and meaningful storyline. I'd highly recommend this movie.
