"Wild Prairie Rose" explores the changing roles of women in 1950s America and offers revealing insight into the ways that people with great differences can learn to communicate. Although focused on one couple's specific story, the film deals in universal themes, challenging viewers to examine their own assumptions about what constitutes a good life. "Wild Prairie Rose" is a heartfelt examination of a woman's search for love, for connection, for community - for her true self. (St. Louis International Film Festival)
