Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

trujustice Such a memorable film and one in which I first took notice of actor Harry Dean Stanton. His character was pivotal in the story and Harry gave such a nuanced performance. Harry had been in westerns a good bit of his early career starting in the 1950s and this was such a big part in a small picture. All the principals seemed so real and Harry was the string that tied it together.

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.

BearWithMe01 I first saw this film when it was released in the early 70's. I was in a foster home/private school in the North Carolina Mountains in Avery County. I truly loved this movie with it's very heart warmng storyline. While being part of the "mountain people", I can relate to the everyday activities and chores of the Luther family, such as, wildcrafting, the cold bitter snows, and the breath taking site of the beautiful North Carolina mountains. Here it is, over twenty years later, and I still love this movie. Now when I watch it, I find myself gettig a lump in my throat and I long so bad to be back in the mountains going to Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Newland, Crossnore and Grandfather Mountain. Anyone who wants a heart-felt, sad story of the children and adults of the "deep hollers" of the North Carolina mountains, will truly enjoy this film. The characters are so believable, that you want to hug them, letting them know it's okay to take on a challenge that would save their love for one another and the love of their family. Where The Lilies Bloom is a film that teaches that no matter how strong, poor, educated and rich someone may be, there are others out there who have something better...and that is love for their family.
