White Bird in a Blizzard is that kind of film that is just so truly average, there are few words that can come up when you try to gather your thoughts about it. A middling thriller and a middling coming of age film, White Bird in a BlizzardWhite Bird in a Blizzard is that kind of film that is just so truly average, there are few words that can come up when you try to gather your thoughts about it. A middling thriller and a middling coming of age film, White Bird in a Blizzard seems content to evenly divide time between solving its mystery and having the protagonist sleep with every guy she meets and then brag about it later. On its own, either would be okay if expanded upon. Together during a hour and a half film, it feels tonally jumbled and all over the place. It was if they could not decide what kind of film they wanted to make and instead decided to make both. This is too bad because it wastes a good performance from Shailene Woodley and a truly captivating mystery and what would have been a worthy sexual coming of age film. While nothing overly original, White Bird in a Blizzard takes two workable genres and mashes them together and winds up hurting the overall product as a result.… Expand

But once you get your head round everything, it is quite an enjoyable watch, the main attraction here being the impressive cast - particularly Shailene Woodley's sensitive character, Eva Green's wonderfully cartoonish performance and the breath of fresh air from the comical Gabourey Sidibe and Mark Indelicato.

Overall, I would recommend the film; but if you miss it, I wouldn't fret too much.… Expand

Yeah, she's nude on the film but so what, that's not a good performance.… Expand
