Life is sad!
Like its troubled protagonists, Mark Milgard's ultrasensitive ode to adolescent angst is equal parts earnest and awkward.
The desolate Western landscape through which the characters in Mark Milgard's promising debut wander in an introspective daze, defines their emotional life.
A refreshingly region-specific entry in a teen-angst subgenre plagued by lazily sketched suburban settings.
Dandelion is Mark Milgard's directorial debut, and it is a worthy one.
First-time director Mark Milgard displays enormous promise and a surprisingly sensitive touch.
Young love blossoms in this moody and dreamy indie.
Jodie Foster's Nell might describe Dandelion's characters as tays een da ween.
A woefully bad teenage love story overflowing with melodramatic touches that are excessive and unbelievable.
Milgard does a tremendous job of telling a story, and of setting up in a manner that commands that you pay attention.
Strong debut from writer-director Mark Milgard.
I really enjoyed this film. It shows love in all of it's real forms....love between brothers, husband and wife, mother and daughter, and true adolescent love. The good love, the bad, and well..even the ugly. I guess like other viewers, I wasn't expecting much, but I've been left with a great appreciation for this film,
