Wildflowers

1999 Drama

Eric Roberts appears in this coming-of-age drama about a young lass coming to terms with her parents' radical past. Raised without a mom, Cally (Clea DuVall just happens to stumble across Sabine (Daryl Hannah), a hippy-dippy artist with a passion for gauzy fabrics, driftwood sculptures, and potent psychotropics. Of course, this aging, drug-fried woman is Cally's mom, and soon Calley is obsessed with her, even to the point of having sex with her lover (Eric Roberts).

Director: Melissa Painter

Starring: Daryl Hannah, Clea DuVall, Eric Roberts, Tomas Arana

  • Could have used more dramatic energy, maybe at the expense of some of that gorgeous scenery.

    Peter Stack - The San Francisco Chronicle

  • A dreamy, impressionistic inquiry into the legacy of the 1960's, but it's less concerned with history than with mood.

    Dana Stevens - The New York Times

  • Androgynous Clea DuVall's performance shines through a foggily told, vaguely acted coming-of-age tale.

  • Meandering melodrama.

  • Wildflowers is the only brand of requiem the '60s get anymore -- worshipful and ass-backward.
