Ms. Woodley plays Kat Conners, a teenager on the brink of graduating high school when her mother, Eve (Eva Green) disappears. Kat doesn’t seem to have any idea what could have happened to her mother, and claims she doesn’t care, but keeps having snowy dreams about her. Kat’s friends and everyone else seem to think they know what happened. The movie is supposed to be a mystery thriller, but is totally devoid of any drama. Instead of getting caught up in a blizzard, we are left watching snow melt. The movie is mostly about the two years it takes to Kat to wake up and smell the coffee and then, in the last five minutes, everything is explained via narration. As a result, the movie is both dull and irritating. The pace is very slow and the dialogue is horribly lame, awkward, and stilted. The film allegedly takes place in the 1980’s, but director Gregg Araki doesn’t seem to have a clue about life in that decade. He introduces a mishmash of elements from decades both before and after the 1980’s. There’s lots of nudity involving the very good looking Ms. Woodley, but the scenes are so contrived one is left thinking that everyone but her knew this bird was dead on arrival and were trying to do something/anything to keep people in their seats.… Expand

Malgré son heure et demi syndicale, un film extrêmement poussif et très ennuyeux à tel point qu’on ne le termine pas, loin de là ! on éteint bien avant la moitié tellement ça se traîne à n’en plus pouvoir…. Eva Green en mèreMalgré son heure et demi syndicale, un film extrêmement poussif et très ennuyeux à tel point qu’on ne le termine pas, loin de là ! on éteint bien avant la moitié tellement ça se traîne à n’en plus pouvoir…. Eva Green en mère hystéro-maniaco-dépressive perd son temps ici et quant à Shaylène je sais plus quoi, elle joue comme un pied (comme d’habitude me dira-t-on) et bien qu’ils aient tenté de l’arranger un peu, elle a toujours une sale gueule.

Non franchement, elle a une tronche de cageot et le charisme d’une andouillette douteuse… même si elle semble pas mal gaulée, franchement elle fout les glandes : il faut lui mettre un sac sur la tête ! elle a un regard de poisson mort. De toute façon, on s’emmerde dans ce psychodrame à deux dollars qui pédale sans la semoule lamentablement… on se croirait à vrai dire dans un double épisode des Feux de l’Amour ! oui, c’est si nul à chier que ça, c’est dingue !… Expand
