I don't review a lot of movies, because I don't watch a lot
of movies but the other day I got an email asking if I would be interested in
reviewing an upcoming faith based film. I wasn't quite sure what to expect with
the PG-13 film since I wasn't familiar with the actors, or actually anyone else
associated with the film. But Wildflower starring Nathalia Ramos and Cody
Longo offered a pleasant, family friendly way to spend an hour and a half.
Chloe is an artist, and some of her memories come out in her
art work. That art plus a recurring dream lea her to believe that she is
dealing with some repressed memories. As she deals with some authorities who
don't quite see things the same way that she does, she finds a friend, Josh,
who comes to believe her, and help her on her quest for the truth.
Josh is dealing with his own demons, demons that have caused
him to doubt God, and question his faith. His brother is a pastor who is trying to bring
this lost sheep back into the fold but it
doesn't seem to be working. Spending time with Chloe, helping her with
her demons proves to be the catalyst that Josh needs to revive his own faith
walk.
Several plot twists result in healing for both Chloe and Josh.
Faith is a main character in this movie, but it's a living faith, showing how
people react, rather than some of the disturbing images of bible thumping
pastors trying to scare people into heaven.
4/5
I received a copy of this DVD in exchange for a review.
