I love this movie so much

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
I was browsing through movies looking for a good drama when I came across this movie. It seemed like the exact kind of movie I would LOVE. Boy, was I disappointed.The movie was slow moving. Pointless scenes going on and on forever. I kept wanting to just turn it off but I had hope that it would get better. It didn't.The girl playing Danny was absolutely horrible. For one I didn't like the character and her acting just stunk!But I did enjoy the plot and the other actors were great. Just not my kind of movie.If you enjoy slow-paced bored to the bone movies than this is for you.
A film about teen coming of age crap with a nowhere plot and boring characters. Mainly, the scenes in this film are stale and loaded with stupid dialogue that has no comprehensible purpose to telling any kind of tale that is remotely interesting. The first 15 minutes are watchable and there are the occasional interesting scenes here and there but the whole thing lacks any cohesion or purpose. The movie attempts to be edgy by continually dancing around the visual of this kid putting a gun to his head and pulling the trigger. But that's about the best it can do in the edgy department. This movie is so dull that thankfully, it is easily forgettable.
I saw this movie at the Rotterdam-FilmFestival in Februari. It was a stormy dark day, a kind of weather which is also predominant in Dandelion.The Director was present and after the movie he told us a little bit about why he made the movie. He wanted to show in what circumstances the teenagers in the Midwest grow-up, how sad there existence can be.I didn't fully agree with him, because I think you can also extract positive things from Dandelion, for instance that teenagers can be happy with each other, even when there parents are very unhappy. But the final conclusion is indeed that the unhappiness of parents rests heavily on their children and passes inevitably on to them.I was pleasantly surprised by the actors' wonderful playing and I hope I will see more of them. It's a pity that so few 'alternative' American movies reach Europe. So, to encourage Directors of these kinds of movies to go on like this, I gave a 9, instead of an 8.
This movie caught me off guard at the Sundance Film Festival. This is an emotionally charged story that really lets you feel the emotion the characters are going through. The cinematography is breath taking and is simply put one of the best films shown at the festival. The acting was top notch and the directing was flawless. Make sure you see this film when it comes out. You will be in for a real treat.
