Read More This is an excellent film that draws you into each and every character and allows you to see the progression of their lives as if you are there with them. Please be aware that this is not a "Hollywood" film, so those looking for fast action, shallow character development, and a great soundtrack should look elsewhere. I recommend this film to all!

Read More Perhaps I just wasn't in the mood, but while my wife and I watch a lot of independent films, and while I tend to like coming of age movies (which inevitably have a certain amount of teen-age angst), this one was painful as far as we watched it.

There's an akward and depressing feel in the way the Mullich family interacts that reminds me of "American Beauty." Not that this movie comes close to that, but it has its moments. It's a typical art film teenage love story, complete with withdrawn and depressed teens, self-absorbed deprecating parents, and scattered bits of fortune cookie wisdom. Every character comes into the movie depressed, Mason because of his parents, and his parents because of marriage, of course. Still a good movie, if you're in that mood. Mark Milgard loves the symbolism in water and it runs throughout. Why it's called Dandelion, I'm not sure. Even though predictable, some dumbass, Jeremy F, on this review board has a spoiler.

(seen to much of that in real life, don't need to see it again). It does get deep into the characters like an ealier reviewer wrote,unfortunatley, most of the characters are depressed or mamic and several are suicidal. Mare Winingham gave an outstanding performance even though she had just a small role. If you fast forward thru all the other junk and just watch her, then you at least get something out of it.

I was wrong! The reason for the one star and the smidge - the beautiful views of the windy Midwest grain fields - however, it's best to just take a ride. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?
