White Bird in a
Blizzard (2014)
Directed by Gregg
Araki this film based on the novel of the same name stars Shailene
Woodley, Eva Green and Christopher Meloni. In 1988 a seventeen year
old girl comes home from school one day to find her father alone and
her mother having disappeared.
Taking many familiar
genre elements there is not a lot that is original in this film and I
am not convinced it even covers it's subject matter that well. Even
the final twist feels like a token effort that does not really fit
the rest of the film. As always Shailene Woodley continues to
increase her rising stock as one of the best young actresses but that
is about all I took from this film.
2/5
