Cally (Clea DuVall) is a moody, melancholy 17-year-old who was raised on a small commune by her father, Wade (Tomas Arana). She's never met her birth mother, but one day at a music festival Cally sees a free-spirited older woman, Sabine (Daryl Hannah), and becomes obsessed with the idea she is her mother. Cally tracks her down via a sketchy drug dealer (Eric Roberts) and throws herself into Sabine's life. Are her instincts correct? Or is Cally deluding herself?

A.O. Scott New York Times Rated: 2/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) A gorgeous portrait of that part of California, and the way nature finds itself at odds with modern life, especially for those whose emotional fragility make them particularly vulnerable.

Audience Member Clea Duvall. Automatic three stars. However, Eric Roberts -5. Daryl Hannah brings it back to a 2. However, I can't leave Clea with a mere 2!! So three it is. But really, don't waste your time. Seriously. Clea and Eric make out in seriously awkward scene. Trust. You don't want to see that. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of the worst movies I have seen. I am not sure if I never noticed before but Darryl Hannah's acting is horrible. The plot is insipid though I remember some of the cinematography was good. Did not like this at all and the story was a cliche.` Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member The only good thing about this movie was Clea DuValll's acting. Otherwise, it just sucked. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Getting further off track as it goes along, Wildflowers drowns DuVall's sensitive, compelling lead performance in a sea of insufferable pretension and regrettable hippie mysticism. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this film. It is a coming of age movie about a girl who tries to find her real mother. That Sabine ends up her real mother is interesting. I think the ending was a bit unrealistic, I don't think someone as headstrong as Sabine would have been so welcoming after being followed so much. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member great story about finding your true self. great acting by clea duvall and daryl hannah. they were good together on screen. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
