What to Know

Critics Consensus

Flower proves Zoey Deutch can bring even the most preposterously written characters vividly to life -- and that she isn't quite enough to carry a fundamentally flawed film.

Deutch burns up the screen in ways that are so passionately multifaceted I was dumbstruck by all of the emotional nuances she was able to mine with such aggressively calming ease. Go to Full Review

Everyone here is simply a mismanaged thing to be moved around an isn't-that-shocking storyboard as needed. It's a shame, as Deutch shows real commitment to a role that demands the exact opposite ... Go to Full Review

What I immediately loved about Flower is that Winkler does not shy away from letting the audience know where he is taking his film from the opening moments. Go to Full Review

Jun 4 Its alright. Pretty disgusting. One time watch... See more thiago s @Thiagostone Apr 1 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas sao mais ou menos, o elenco é mais ou menos, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom, e mesmo com um drama, o filme ainda não melhorou. See more Alexander G 10/25/2024 Wer eine junge Skorpionfrau sehen will, die völlig in ihrer Rolle aufgeht und eine Intensität versprüht, die den ganzen Film trägt, ist hier mit Flower und Zoey Deutch an der richtigen Adresse. Die Geschichte selbst ist dafür, dass der Film als "Komödie" gehandelt wird eher selten wirklich witzig. Das komplexen Themen Patchworkfamilie, Kindesmissbrauch und Drogenprobleme bieten letztlich den Hintergrund der Geschichte und berühren durchaus, wenn es einen auch gelegentlich eher runterzieht. Aber die unglaubliche Präsenz von Zoey Deutch tröstet wie gesagt über vieles andere hinweg. Wäre der Film besser, hätte sie für diese Rolle eine Oscarnominierung bekommen können! See more Jerod S 06/22/2024 Zoey has a ridiculous role to play - a teenager that's sexually disturbed but is tossed redeeming qualities here and there. It's a try hard movie. See more Patrick F 05/13/2024 This is a weird movie. It's very dark, and more of a drama than a comedy. Kathryn Hahn and Adam Scott were kind of wasted given their great comedic backgrounds. Zoey Deutch have a good performance. The premise is interesting, but I was sort of repulsed by the characters. Had higher hopes for the movie. See more Ravenswood R 07/02/2023 Emotionally unstable and off track film that has no coherent guiding theme. The acting is actually very good, amazingly, since the dialogue is extremely scattershot and unconvincing. The premise and story and almost all occurrences depicted are totally disconnected from anything resembling real life. So many flaws, and so many problems with this movie it would take a while to list them all. I made it through, and I consider that an accomplishment somehow, but it was really just a waste of time.
