This movie is a wonderful display of the young acting talent that is Clea DuVall. Her acting, along with the under rated talent of Daryl Hannah, make this a great movie. A sentimental journey of a young girl, Cally, (DuVall) who becomes drawn to an eccentric runaway (Hannah), and her quest to know this woman. A great performance by both actresses, but DuVall shines as Cally, and demonstrates her ability to act as previously shown in such films as "The Faculty" and "Girl, Interupted". A most enjoyable film.

the only thing I can say about this film is after about 10 mins I fell asleep, and woke up during the end credits. I thought the actors would have been better but with such an awful storyline you can't expect anything else really.

beautiful, touching film
15 April 2001
I saw this film on the big screen during the Santa Barbara Film Festival. From the film's opening, it was both captivating and visually breathtaking. The plot is not necessarily fast paced, but it isn't slow by any means. The character development is very strong, the script and performances by Daryl Hannah and Clea Duvall ( in particular) were both stunning. The setting is aboslutely lovely. I tend to be a very discriminating, and sometimes critical moviegoer, so i was shocked to read the scathing view review above. I loved this movie. It is a tender and touching tale that I look forward to owning and watching many more times.

V ery artistic and touching
6 Aug 2000
Cali is a 17 year old girl that lives on a house boat with her hippie father, she searching for her mother who left soon after she was born. She discovers that subeam the towns most ecentric person is her mother. Along the way to finding this discovery she deals with her friends trying to discourage her from finding her mother, and her need to live on her own. I really liked this movie its vey artistic, and remnsent of hippies living on communes. This is a movie to see on a rainy day.The setting is so gorgeus you'll want to pick up and move.

made me feel like living life more fully
7 Aug 2000
WILDFLOWERS, a film by Melissa Painter, shown Sunday evening 7 August 2000 at the Wine Country Film Festival in Sonoma, California, made me feel like living life more fully.
WILDFLOWERS is the story of a 17 year old child of the 60s (she was raised first on a commune in Olema, then by her dad on a Sausalito houseboat) who in 1985 befriends an expressive, artistic older woman: one she sees as being everything she would want to be; one whom she gradually suspects is the long-lost mother she grew up without. Clea DuVall plays Cally, Daryl Hannah plays Sabine. The director/screenwriter drew on her own experience - she was born in 1968 too - as well as interviews and research. Filmed in Marin and North Beach.
