Rising young actress Clea Duvall stars in Wildflowers as Cally, a young woman who's grown up on a commune outside of San Francisco. Now 17, she finds herself drifting away from her father, who raised her alone after her mother abandoned them both. Cally sees Sabine (Daryl Hannah), a reckless artist, at a coffee shop and is instantly drawn to her restless energy, perhaps seeing in the Pre-Raphaelite beauty the wilder woman Cally wishes she could be. When Sabine accidentally leaves her journal behind one day, Cally uses it as an opening to enter Sabine's life and a friendship slowly develops--though Sabine resists growing close and is torn by unresolved feelings about a close friend who has just died. Bit by bit, Cally begins to piece together clues that suggest she and Sabine are closer than they had thought. Clea Duvall's broad, open face and natural presence effortlessly communicate both Cally's yearning infatuation with Sabine and her increasing alienation from the world she's always known. The supporting performances by Eric Roberts and Tomas Arana are carefully drawn, and the cinematography--especially scenes of the California seashore--are beautiful. Wildflowers slowly builds a compelling portrait of a young woman redefining herself. --Bret Fetzer

4.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, touching film, April 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Wildflowers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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.

This review is from: Wildflowers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars made me feel like living life more fully, August 7, 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.
