It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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.

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.

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".

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.
