A simple Haiku about the discovery of a whole different human world

Wild Prarie Rose harkens back to a simple grounded time where the discovery of ourselves and the world around us proceeds at a very deliberate pace. Director Deborah LaVine absolutely steeps us deep in the quiet charm of the open plain in a way that is so authentic as to be seamless.

It is in fact so good that even the natural cycle of life does little interrupt the spell and the human stories that flow around it. Even with such a deft touch if it wasn't for the nuanced and heartfelt work of Tara Samuel and Oscar winner Troy Kotsur this film would'nt have touched the viewer as deeply as it did.

What it does in the end is remind us whats important and beautiful about all the mundane around our lives and that we should never stop looking for all that's special in the least likely places.

And in this case the reward is a lasting and deeply connected romance.
