I enjoyed this movie. It had a good storyline and ending.

Recommended by Netflix as a thriller.... WRONG!
fionajones-501229 December 2016
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.

Disappointed by Netflix's recommendation
chelle-baker11 December 2016
Described as a thriller by Netflix is actually just a Christian movie with seriously annoying inner monologue from the main character during the whole movie.
Acting is trite and uncomfortable, story line is strange and the disjointed. Could of had potential as an idea if it wasn't done with constant reference to the church trying to help her find her way.
Given it is meant to have a thriller undertone its lack of flow means if never builds suspense and the monologue is so irritating I struggled to watch the entire movie.
Clearly aimed at Christian youth groups and unless this floats your boat I wouldn't recommend.

camadouny10 December 2016
I really liked this movie. The main character has some voice over narration which is a bit made-for-TV, but there is also a strong undercurrent of tension which is what really pulled me in. Faith and God are strong themes here, but not so much that it detracts from the story if that's not your cup of tea. It also deals with strong mental illness themes, especially in the realm of trusting your own mind (or not).
It seems at times like the movie can't decide if it's a thriller or a made-for-TV drama. It's quite tense, but there are odd moments that are a bit cheesy. All the same I enjoyed it.

Looked great but very schmaltzy

Got off to a slow start and almost gave up watching. But wanted to see how story incorporated "faith based" into the plot and it was basically using the same tropes seen over and over.
I wasn't sure if this was a traditional drama almost like the old "ABC Afterschool Specials" of the 70's. But then it dove into this tension- filled, suspenseful section that almost alluded to a supernatural element to the plot (trying to not give any spoilers). So was a bit confused. I think directors/producers wanted to go for a faith-based story with more meat to it but it falls short. Actors performances lacked depth and didn't rise above material. Some of the writing was trite and very "on the nose" - a screen writing no-no.
BUT good points: well shot. Good cinematography and liked small town America location.

Great Movie, Get the Tissues Ready
littlewojo30 December 2017
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.
She ran calling 'Wildflower'
Wuchakk8 July 2021
A 20 year-old (Nathalia Ramos) in a college town in northern New York has blackouts and premonitions, which pave the way for her to meet a troubled, but compassionate handyman (Cody Longo). They sort of team-up to investigate a missing girl case from a dozen years earlier. Kevin McCorkle plays the police chief and Alexa Rose Steele a young woman in the town.
"Wildflower" (2014) is a crime drama/mystery with paranormal bits that only cost $650,000, but seems like more because it's so well made (by writer/director Nicholas DiBella). This is not a thriller, as it has been wrongly designated in some places, although there are a couple brief thrills. It's a low-key drama/mystery with slight faith-based aspects, mostly because the dude is fixing-up pews at a church facility and is dealing with disillusionment due to a tragedy. The pastor of the fellowship is actually a small role (Benjamin Ashbrook).
So don't watch this if you loathe the very concept of God or want a crime thriller with a dynamic scene every 10 minutes, like "Deadfall" (2012), which is a decent flick albeit contrived and unlikely. This one, by contrast, plays out like real life.
For anyone who scoffs at the paranormal bits, these have to do with what the bible calls the 'word of knowledge,' the ability to know things about the past or immediate future which you wouldn't otherwise know without this spiritual gift. Of course people with such gifts are understandably viewed by secularists as crazy and desperately needing the Psych Ward, which the movie touches on.
To appreciate this picture you have to enjoy lifelike drama. It effectively shows how ordinary people and their stories are more interesting than the most overblown effects-laden extravaganzas (to me, at least). Both Nathalia Ramos and Cody Longo own their roles, especially Nathalia (particularly as the story proceeds). There's an intangible honesty & reverence to the proceedings that appeals to me.
Also, this is about way more than just solving a mystery, but the movie wisely takes the subtle approach, unlike "Deadfall" which smashes you over the head with its well-intentioned points.
The film runs 1 hour, 32 minutes, and was shot in Brockport & Rochester, New York, about an hour's drive east of Buffalo by Lake Ontario.

Total Hack job
ashpryder15 December 2016
The acting in this film is terrible, but it is possible that the actors are doing their best with what has to be one of the worst scripts I have ever encountered. The hack who wrote this ought to be ashamed of themselves. Nobody in the film speaks like an actual human being, and it relies on a constant droning voice over narration which is hardly necessary and could be made entirely obsolete with the most minor of script adjustments. The only thing I can give the writer credit for is the fact that it was at least 15 minutes into the movie before it became abundantly clear that it was a soft sell Christian sermon disguised as a mystery.
Of course it wasn't a very good mystery either. The only mystery was what the mystery actually was, as it danced around that issue for way too long. That failed to be intriguing at all, possibly due to the ridiculous narration and the constant suggestions that the answers might be found at church.
Don't waste your time.

Good Story
musicwojo-9567830 December 2017
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.

Not a blockbuster hit, but worth watching
turtleshell-7783730 December 2017
Overall, this movie is well done- not a blockbuster hit, but worth watching.
I would say it is a drama much more than it would be a thriller. It reminds me of a TV show soap opera but a lot more wholesome. It has a sense of balance between dialogue, thrill, and redemption. If you look past the stale screenplay, it turns out to be a pretty decent movie. This would be a great movie for all those people who flip on the TV and start watching the first soap opera they come across- I know you're out there! Instead, you can watch this and feel a lot better about yourself :)
I appreciate how realistically dark the subject matter gets, and how it doesn't force God into the whole business like an unrealistic band-aid to the problems that are happening. It gets at the confusion we feel when faced with issues like death, anxiety, lack of trust etc. and shows how difficult/ impossible it is to see God in all of it.
Plot twists kept me on my toes and guessing, and I found myself drawn into the rising action toward the end. The movie left me feeling good that I had watched it.

NOT A THRILLER JUST A CHRISTIAN MOVIE
nataliawestervelt9 July 2021
Stopped watching this not even 20 minutes in. Was trying to give it a chance, even though I realized this was a religious movie the moment there was too much of a linger on characters inside a church, with not so subtle "get back to your faith" undertones. Contrary to the title I gave this review, I do believe it's not impossible to insert religion without compromising the entire plot. This film, however, is nothing but a stage for an infomercial marathon designed to herd everyone into the nearest church.
Yep, that is basically the message throughout - get back to your faith, it solves all. There is no humanity, just missionary drones posing as friends and siblings, all of whom are set to convert mode. The story is very superficial and unexciting, taking a back seat to characters that are so robotic they make you wonder if this isn't a reboot of an alien body snatching film, with the lead characters running astray from the rest of the collective and everyone else charged with the task of pulling them back in.
Get with the program.... or else.
Unfortunately it is not that exciting! You'd think a faith with roots in the Crusades and Inquisition would have a handle on how to conjure the kind of atmosphere needed for a thriller, but instead you have saccharine sweet faces and bland storylines more suitable for the kiddy pool than a high dive. It's not only annoying - it's flat out boring.
I would watch a "faith based" film, but give me a real plot, show some grit and humanity, not this dearth of reality.

More of a daytime TV movie than a feature
hjt152 February 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I watched this movie as I've been binge watching on Netflix and sadly there wasn't much that was thrilling about this thriller. It wasn't that the movie was terrible. There was a decent enough story line and the acting wasn't bad. But I didn't find anything to relate to in any of the characters and it was just a bit dull. Chloe's 'confession' to her mother at the end just seemed like an unnecessary guilt-trip for not liking her character. Perhaps if there had been a little back story to the characters they may have been more likable. The title and Chloe's 'look' made me feel that the intention was an edgy, arty, dark film but unfortunately the execution was mid afternoon TV movie.
Don't watch this unless you are nostalgic for old Highway to Heaven reruns.
jasonlarsen-7827420 November 2017
Disappointing. Netflix billed it as a thriller, it isn't.
If Had known that it was a sappy, made- for-TV feeling narrated G movie, the kind that would be squeezed in between reruns of Touched by Angel and Highway to Heaven, I never would have watched it.
It's too bad too, because the story line could have been made into a decent movie.
Halfway through I had the urge to stop it, and I should have listened to my gut.

binthaider-755-82284930 October 2018
Acting was bad. Script was bad. Execution of the story was bad. Lead actress was a bad actress. The sombre music in the movie was the worst, it lasts faaar to long into the next scene (that has started already). No tension, no drama and no climax.
Disappointing because the story/plot was actually interesting.
Worth the watch!
mcoppola-148882 January 2018
Intriguing and mysterious, Wildflower is a story about healing and hope. It portrays characters with broken pasts, whose efforts to find the truth behind the disappearance of a local girl eventually lead them to resolve the struggles within their own hearts. Wildflower is a wonderful story about how faith and hope can help us transform and move beyond life's greatest tragedies.
Religious propaganda films need to identify themselves as such
kay_rock29 June 2021
It is very frustrating to watch a movie that is labeled as "suspense" and "drama" just to discover you've stumbled in to yet another "faith based" proselytizing film.
Amazon is doing this a lot these days... feeding us propaganda under the guise of entertainment. If I labeled pornography a "christian film" and distributed it to christian youth centers, I don't think they'd appreciate that.
Just call it what it is so we know what we're getting into.

Not a thriller but still a GOOD movie
jimdibella31 December 2017
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.
I feel bad for the actors.

Excellent psychological description of the characters
greenfield-574-5765981 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I do not really fathom some of the so low-rate review to this movie. I really enjoyed it, although its apparent "slow" rhythm and narration, I think it is a great psychological mystery thriller. I never felt bored one second as it draw my attention in any scene. The main character of the film, Chloe, and her psychological status is treated in an excellent way. You can understand her situation: a 20 years old girl coming from a lost and denied serene childhood, due to the big trauma of the loss of her father, and the act of neglecting of the mother who left her apart going after dating with few guys. The small child left alone and forgotten by the mother, (not to blame the mother though, as we will see later) often spends time on her own and even eyewitnesses a murder that upset her all the rest of the life until she finds someone who believe in her (Josh) when all the other characters seems considering her a crazy delusional person. (she is kept under control by the police for suspected drugs dependency because of her apparently mental behavior (the police threatens her to put her under "mental arrest"). she indeed has periodic visions that take her out in the night in a mental state of confusion and total disconnection from the reality. As said, in the end, when her beliefs were proved right, and the man she felt was the killer will be arrested, she and her mother start to regain a mutual trust (the mother though, is depicted in trying to regain her love and trust, but she still does not believe in her, and for this reasons, Chloe keeps taking distance from her) along with her friend (and maybe future boyfriend) Josh that, feeling something for the girl, also, he was the only one who felt she was right. He has an unconditioned faith in her. The film ends with a feeling that what she lacked for, love and trust, will finally accompanied her along her new life. Nothing more right the title "wild flower, a beautiful thing like a flower, that the cruel reality of the life has made "wild".
Innovative and Interesting CHRISTIAN Thriller
jessicawojcinski1 January 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Unfortunately by no fault of its own, Netflix misbranded this film as a "thriller," when really it should be classified first and foremost as a Christian film. I would say it is a Christian thriller, really the first of its kind, which makes it that much more innovative and interesting to watch. While certainly not a scary film, it is suspenseful. The perfect "thriller" for people who enjoy suspense without the gore or explicit content that often accompanies films classified as thrillers.
The drama of an unsolved disappearance that turns out to be a murder and the psychological toll it takes on the only living witness to the crime (the main character, Chloe) is an interesting story that touches on difficult topics such as mental illness, trauma, and familial neglect and abuse that viewers with similar experiences could relate to without necessarily feeling triggered. The film maintains an overarching theme of faith as a steady source of strength for both main characters, Chloe and Josh, who are each dealing with their own internal battles. The film's faith component is more realistic than most faith-based films in that both characters are still working to develop their faith by the end of the film, both in God and in the people in their lives, and that neither characters' problems were miraculously fixed just because they started exploring their belief in God. It is evident that both characters still have some healing to do, but have begun the process through their faith in each other and new openness to faith in God.
Small note, I appreciated that Chloe and Josh didn't end up in a romantic relationship by the end of the film. There is definitely potential there, but considering the whole film takes place over a short amount of time and Josh is still mourning the death of his wife, having the two main characters fall in love by the end of the film would have been way too cookie-cutter and painfully predictable.
My only negative comment would be that the film is a little stereotypically cheesy in the end, magnified by Nathalia Ramos' acting. Most of the film maintains realistic dialogue, but Chloe delivers a few cringey lines towards the end about not letting the experience "own her or define her" and how Josh was the only one who could see the truth ("who was it who taught you to see with your heart like that?"). Chloe's character was emotionally closed-off for most of the film, so the 360 change of suddenly sharing fortune cookie-esque reflections with her mom and Josh doesn't make sense, and the specific lines she delivers are not colloquial. The performances of better actors like Cody Longo (Josh), Benjamin Ashbrook (Mark), and Shari Rigby (Nicole), make up for Nathalia Ramos' lack of sincerity and emotional depth.
Finally, the musical score and cinematography were excellent. The music included talented local artists and compositions by the Christian band Building 429 that would make an excellent movie soundtrack. The cinematography, specifically the aerial shots, were well-done. The landscape was beautiful and believably "small town America."
Overall an enjoyable, creative film that I would highly recommend to Christian film enthusiasts and anyone else who would enjoy a suspenseful yet feel-good film.

Amazing
prettywu19 March 2017
Not really a fun of dramas but this one hit me.. Dialogue, narration, background music, story , everything else was Inspiring... You wanna watch it until the end.. There were suspense about the real culprit. Hiding and running off the witness. One man who persists to see the real truth. All questions, discoveries and solutions boil into one.. This movie is really good.. It is factual.. It happens in real life..Not just drama that creates another drama.. I am giving an excellent score for this one.. See for yourself
Be careful not to fall off your seat...you will be teetering on the edge.
mommywonderland5 April 2016
Have you ever felt like God has let you down? Have you ever hit rock bottom in life and just don't know how you can possibly rise up again? We have all gotten there in my opinion. We may even get there again. We are human. We get scared, we feel alone, we get confused, and our emotions take us away. I watched a movie that brings all that home. WILDFLOWER shows us that we are never as alone as we feel, and we will rise above!
WILDFLOWER is definitely a MUST SEE. I can't even stress that enough! I am recommending this movie right and left. If you love psychological thrillers you will LOVE this movie.
I personally am a big movie buff. I love all movies. In our house we even have a weekly family movie night. We watch movies with the kids and then when they are in bed me and hubby watch our own movies. That said, from my standards, this is by far one of the best movies I have seen in quite some time! Now me and my husband watched this alone, as our children are young. This movie did further show that as parents we all need to be very present, active, and invested in our children's lives. We need to talk with them daily, and stay connected. I cannot stress that enough. It is extremely important, and this movie drives that further home.
I was definitely on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. My heart raced, my brain raced, I was captured! Wildflower caught my attention immediately and the movie held my attention until the very end. There is so much suspense, drama, plot twists, friendship, family, and faith. I never could guess what would happen next, and I was shocked through it all. This is a positively riveting movie experience that will set you off on a roller-coaster of emotions. The scenes were great, the actors and actresses did a fantastic job! This movie wins every award possible in my book.
It is a clean movie which is just amazing. Especially for Christian families out there. It is so hard to find a GOOD clean movie to watch that includes faith. There is pure genius behind this film, and there is no other way to put it. The way such a situation can be kept clean, and remain as riveting as this deserves a standing ovation. This is a great movie for teens and adults. I wouldn't go younger than teen years because it is a pretty intense movie. It is rated PG-13. I love that this movie doesn't just provide entertainment. It provides hope! No matter our darkest hour God is with us, and we are not alone. We cannot lose our faith, and we cannot lose our hope. But if we do along one of life's hard roads He will be there with open arms to welcome us back. It never rains forever. I can see this movie providing so many out there with hope, faith, and courage. It isn't easy to touch down on trauma subjects like this movie does, but WILDFLOWER does an excellent job. This movie far surpassed my expectations.
