Wild Prairie Rose (2016)
Directed by Deborah LaVine
Screenplay by Sharon Greene
Stars: Tara Samuel, Troy Kotsur, Suann Spoke, Betsy Berenson, and Maya Brattkus
I was scrolling on twitter and saw that Troy Kotsur retweeted this movie. He said that it was his first independent movie before breakthrough role in CODA.
The movie takes place in 1952 where Rose (Samuel) comes back to her childhood town somewhere in South Dakota to take care of her ailing mother, Pearl (Spoke). As the mother deals with arthritis, Rose comes up with an idea to make a movie for her mother. Rose enlists the help of local repairman, James (Kotsur) to film the movie. She realizes that James is deaf, not dumb as the townspeople think.
My thinking is that this was a TV movie at some point. The movie feels like a ION/Pureflix type of movie. The beginning of the movie is a slog to get through. The movie really starts when Rose meets James.
I'm not saying that the movie is great. The movie is cute. Perfectly fine.
Rating: 6/10
