Here's my review I posted on IMDB:

Wildcat: I Have Trouble Finding Words
May 2024
As my title suggests, it is hard to describe how I feel about this movie. By the middle I was overwhelmed with emotion. By the end I was meditating on life. This movie is so profound, original, well-crafted and executed. Melding her stories with her life may be difficult for some to follow but hang in there. As Flannery says in her opening comments, fiction is reality. The fiction writer that she was was a dark soul who lived to dig deep and find meaning in every aspect of life. Whether the meaning was positive or negative didn't matter. She had to live as long as she could and created other lives to live them as well. After seeing the movie I had to come home, sit outside and contemplate.

As you can see, I really, really liked this movie.

1. Haven't seen the movie but planning on it.

I’m a big fan of hers. Flannery O’Connor is always a gut wrenching read. It’s a good thing she wrote short stories so I can recover in between.

2. Agreed

I actually hadn't read anything of hers. After the movie I got the book with all of her stories in it. They are all gut-wrenching! Each one has an unexpected twist. For someone so young, she was deep. Ethan Hawke who wrote and directed the movie said that he grew up immersed in her work by his mother. That's why he made the movie.

3. I'm guessing this isn't the Goldie Hawn football movie?
