Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

ruth1663 One of the first films I ever saw in a theater as a teen, in the '70's. Set in the mountains of NC, a young girl leads her siblings in survival after being orphaned. A beautiful setting & good storyline. It has been a long time since I saw it, but it is one of those "feel good" movies. When you get to the end you want the story to continue. The characters are well cast & not that well known as actors for the most part. For a large part the main characters are young, but very good in that the portrayal is believable. As in any movie about struggle there is a "bad guy" & a hero, or heroine in this case. "Where The Lilies Bloom" is a drama that takes you through a good range of feelings, you will laugh & cry & feel victory as well as defeat.

lesliempalmisano I have been dying to see the movie on TV again. I wish they would show it!!! It's a lovely movie about this family, with a strong lead female character. . She has a lot of spunk & tenacity . I remember seeing it on a lazy Sunday afternoon and it was a kind of a surprise to be so good being a TV made movie. The cinematography is lovely. It seems to be a place of quiet beauty. May be one day I will go the place where it was filmed. I even remember the background music and the sounds of the rustling trees and the wind going thru the mountain brush. It really had an impact on me. I recommend this movie highly. Please if anyone sees when this will be showing, let me know.

jessfink This wonderful 1974 film was one I saw when it came out at age 6 and it has stayed with me to this day, 20-odd years later. It is the kind of small, well-written, well-acted, poignant, earnest and meticulously crafted piece of filmmaking that simply does not exist today. Anyone, man or woman, old or young, will truly enjoy watching this great, great film.

sal-23 I loved this movie. I give it 5 stars because the movie shows the hard life in the mountains. It just stood out at the library when I looked for a movie. I read the book and it was just as good. Mary Call was bossy, but I understood why. Ima Dean was cute but boring. All she did was sit, sing songs, take bathes and go to school. Romey was rather loud and Devola was queer in the head. All in all, it was a great movie.
