headhunter46 I rented this to see Eva Greene. She was there, but she played a distraught, emotionally damaged woman so it was not the treat I had hoped for.This movie is about a girl who has a mother that is obviously NOT in love with her husband. The poor daughter is an innocent victim in this situation. Something appears to have snapped in the mother such that she is totally unhappy with her humble existence as a homemaker. She was close to the daughter when she was little but somehow that has cooled now that the girl in in her late teens.She grows increasing negative and one day just disappears. This leaves a hole in the daughter that she learns to deal with but the hole is always there, never quite healed.It is a bit depressing to see a family be so deprived of loving relationships.There is some mystery but the movie has no really stellar moments. The acting was okay, never felt like any were "acting", but again nothing stood out as being really amazing.
MattyGibbs White Girl in a Blizzard follows a girl trying to discover what has happened to her mother via flashbacks. This is an intriguing film that concentrates on how her mother going missing affects the daughter. The real mystery of the film though is just what did happen to her mother. It doesn't follow traditional storytelling techniques and bounces from place to place. This will annoy some but I think it made it a bit different to many mystery stories.I can't say I was taken with the manic performance of Eva Green as the mom which I found annoying and which detracted from the film. Thankfully though the film is driven along by great performances from Shailene Woodley as the daughter and also Christopher Meloni as the Dad. This is a strange film in many ways and far from flawless but it always grabs your attention and is a welcome change from many of today's predictable mystery thrillers. If you don't mind something a bit different this is well worth watching.
adonis98-743-186503 In 1988, a teenage girl's life is thrown into chaos when her mother disappears. The problem with White Bird in a Blizzard is how it chooses to use represent it's characters and how it's so tough to actually feel bad about someone in this movie for example it was really weird to see Thomas Jane and Shailene Woodley sleeping together, the word F*ck was in like every single scene and the ending was horrible in more ways than one. Now the good stuff except the nude scenes Woodley is very different both in the way she looks and acts and she really challenged herself a lot, Eva Green was good but her character didn't got enough screen time, Christopher Meloni ruined the film for me he was good until that ending came out this film is definitely much better than Gone Girl which was pretty dull and full of horrible characters but don't except anything more than just an alright film with a good idea, great actors and a very awful ending (6.4/10)
chasing_zero SEX.I'll try to make this as short as possible.Despite the fact that the story is set in the late 80s/ early 90s, the movie has no 80s/ 90s feel to it. At all.The main character is a one dimensional emotionless nympho. The actress was not the best choice for this movie setting: There's only two things about her that I can praise at this point. And she shows them a few times. You get what I mean. And aside from the somewhat OK soundtrack, that's pretty much everything this movie has to offer.Basically, the movie is a waste of time, pretty much a failed attempt to combine Twilight with the 80s/ 90s theme and add some lame thriller/ drama elements. My personal guess is that this was just a chance for the main actress to experiment with nude scenes.2/10 Boring.
