From a psychiatric ward, tutor & proofreader Gaby Winters elaborately recounts an evening spent babysitting a 16 year old girl--an evening that results in the girl's disappearance. While Gaby's story is recorded to video, she tells of her urgent attempts to relocate the missing teen before her parents return home. Gaby's search is set to a tapestry of snaking subplots: the unlikely spy hunting down an envelope, the eloping girl he exploits, her doting mother, the military husband, his pious mistress, an abducted woman, and the ailing fiancé wandering around in a karate gi bent on beating a man he mostly-believes is banging his girl. Gaby's story--infused with anarchy--will climax memorably, or so she intends.

User Review - 10/10 by Frank MOutstanding indie movie. Rent it and you won't be disappointed
User Review - 10/10 by Private Uone of my favorite movies. mad bizarre though.
User Review - 10/10 by Phoebe RWhen was the last time you went into a movie completely ignorant of its content when it started, yet halfway through you thought ?This may be the best movie I have ever seen?? Flourish was like that for me. And while the thought was an exaggeration (but as exaggerations come and go it was one of the minor ones), Flourish sure was one of the best movies I have seen of late and among the most entertaining.
User Review - 8/10 by Alexander TThis was an interesting experience. I didn't like this movie at first. I kept thinking to myself "What is wrong with these people, they're all crazy!" They were all incredibly irritating. But then I remembered that the story is being told through the eyes of an arguably insane woman. If you can make it through this movie with an open mind, I think you'll enjoy the story.
User Review - 6/10 by Deb JJennifer Morrison really shows that she is a truly stunning dramatic actor. Both Jen and Jesse Spencer are 180-degrees from their conservative roles in TV's House MD. Surrounded by a wonderful ensemble of actors, they create a story that flourishes with suspense and humor. This was great indie film making. A must-see.
User Review - 6/10 by Kevin DWell that was certainly weird. There's a lot of positives about [i]Flourish[/i], starting with the whole reason I saw it, Jennifer Morrison, and her [i]House, M.D.[/i] co-star Jesse Spencer in a karate gi. But really mostly Jennifer Morrison. And given developments on [i]House[/i], it may have been my last chance to see her. Jennifer Morrison is brilliant as Gabrielle Winters, a woman who lost a teenager she was babysitting, being interviewed in a clinical setting and spinning a bizarre tale to explain what happened, showing he has a tenuous grasp on her faculties at the best of times, telling a story that shows her moving through an evening piecing her own life and identity together moment by moment from snatches of lucidity and whatever facts she can glean from hazy memories. Morrison's frenetic character Gabby is unable to keep words and concepts straight from sentence to sentence (dropping her coffee and looking for the car keys then asking her roommate for the coffee keys), and it's both funny and intriguing to watch the impossibility of communication with Gabby. Some of the mystery that hangs over the film is worthwhile, like wondering how the fractured Gabby can have stable relationships with other people like her rooommate, and why someone would trust her to care for their child. It really calls into question whether she was always like this, and Gabby gives some reason to believe she had a sharp mental break that caused her to be like this. The story within the story, her recollection of what happened That Night proceeds in a linear fashion cutting between multiple characters and locations, a bizarre plot involving spycraft, rogue teenagers, adultery, dead bodies, and a feverish man with a karate gi and a gun. It's grounded enough that the reliability of Gabby as a narrator doesn't come into question until the end. The interviewer points out several problems we should have had with Gabby's story, like the parts she didn't witness, and the fact that he's in it. Everybody in the entire story seems very confused about what they're doing, and why, and inventively bridges the gaps between intentions and reality the same way Gabby does, which means it's impossible to be sure to what degree they're real people, and to what degree an extension of her imagination. Gabby can't find her car keys, and outside a car thief can't figure out how to start her car, she hitches a ride but the driver can't take her where she's going or explain why... when she tells the story everybody seems to share her problem with transportation. On some level this is fascinating, but after twenty minutes of searching, I really just wanted her to find her car keys. After an hour and a half, I just wanted one person to know where they were and what they were doing. [i]Flourish[/i] doesn't come to a satisfactory resolution of any subplot, so it's a hard slog, and other than Gabby, none of the characters are people I really wanted to know more about anyways. So good for Jennifer Morrison, not so good for the audience.
User Review - 6/10 by Agata GWorth seeing just for the chemistry between Spencer and Morrison.
User Review - 6/10 by Leigh RWhat? Wait, I said that wrong... What the hell?
User Review - 2/10 by Maciej ?The director must have been on crack when he wrote this. haha I love Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer and even like Leighton Meester but this story was just so....HARD to accept. I understand what the director was saying in the special features about not creating characters who are simply relatable, but these characters were on the verge of being unrealistic and overdramatic, even considering who is narrating the story. And really, the interview/making of documentary featuring the director showed him to be an arrogant SOB who thinks he knows everything there is to know about good writing. Which I feel this film showcased none of. So, for anyone reading this, I believe it would be a waste of your valuable film-watching time to rent this.
