This is a quiet film and many haven't even heard of it. Non the less, it's worth it's one and a half hours.
At first glance u might think it's a little "Hallmark", but trust me this is much more.
Kent Broadhurst has written a beautiful script and one can even think it was written for the actors playing in it.
This is the kind of film u see at home alone, or with someone u care about and someone u can show some feelings to.
If u allow it, this movie can bring some feelings out.
Laura Linney plays beautifully as she portrays a some what drunken single mom, with her dreams shattered as her husband takes his own life.
Emile Hirsch shines in the part as her teenage son. Brining his softly spoken being to the cast, he makes u want to stretch out a hand and help him in his struggles.
This is a film that leaves u with you're brain working, and that's how i like it.
A good movie with nice moments.

This flick, which aired on Showtime under the title "Wild Iris", tells of a grandmother, her adult daughter, and a teenage son/grandson who live together in a SOHO wedding dress boutique. In spite of the pasty, made-for-tv "feel", "...Iris" showcases two excellent performances. Rowlands plays a mother in denial about her diseased relationship with her daughter, avoiding the truth while placating conflict with platitudes. Linney plays the daughter who tries to cope with good old mom using brutally frank honesty and vodka has her weapons of choice. Kudos to the pair of female leads.
Gena Rowlands and Laura Linney are two actresses who simply never turn in less than excellent performances no matter what the material they lend their astonishing talents to. "Wild Iris" offers them both a wonderful opportunity to display their craft. While the script is certainly above average, it does not quite make the grade to which they are so deserving. Ultimately these characters fail to convince, through no fault of the actresses, but rather to the writer's spurious characterisation.
While Rowlands and Linney are amongst the best performers of their generations, young Emile Hirsch shows much promise as a representative actor of his generation. He has a natural sensitivity and vulnerability which endows his portrayal with much conviction. He would reprise this role of a sensitive teenager anguishing over the death of a parent in a world that does not acknowledge his inner pain in "The Mudge Boy".
With three outstanding performances "Wild Iris" is certainly a movie to seek out, despite the deficient screenplay.

Gena Rowlands and Laura Linney turn in outstanding performances in this dark tale of mother-daughter love and hate. Built around small-town life, suicide, and failure, this story takes a few dark turns before finding the light. Linney is outstanding as the lost daughter who can't get her life back after her husband commits suicide. Gena Rowlands is (as always) excellent as the domineering mother who seems to thrive on her daughter's failures. Superior TV movie with good work from Fred Ward and Emile Hirsch as the boy who takes a drastic step to save all their lives.
Good performances can't save this terrible script, larded with every cliche in the chick-flick book. Both main characters are deeply unsympathetic, and the scene where Laura Linney's character reminisces about sex with her dead husband in front of her teenage son -- which I think is supposed to be poignant -- is just horrifying.
