White Bird in a Blizzard Ratings & Reviews
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
Oh, the small-town/suburban horror of it all.
TheWrap
Inkoo Kang
"A melodrama about numbness and detachment, writer-director Gregg Araki's adaptation of Laura Kasischke's novel is a paradox on paper and an anesthetized dud on screen."
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
'White Bird in a Blizzard" develops engine trouble early on, right around the time it asks us to accept Eva Green as a desperate suburban housewife.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Green in particular seems to be channeling the bride of Frankenstein for half her scenes. It's an awkward mix of styles, and it doesn't work.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
An enjoyable, if uneven, adaptation of Laura Kasischke's coming-of-age novel about a teenage girl whose mother vanishes into thin air.
Associated Press
Jocelyn Noveck
There's a fine line between stylized and campy, and Araki defiantly crosses it, in any number of cringe-in-your-seat, can-you-believe-this-dialogue, my-gosh-that-feels-fake moments.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"White Bird in a Blizzard" is an odd little concoction, a coming-of-age story that, only in passing, is also a mystery.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
I'm not suggesting that all films need a grand purpose, but "White Bird in a Blizzard" doesn't work as mystery or character study.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
Woodley reminds us that she's not just the hippie queen of YA adaptations, but a bracing actress who's not averse to taking some gutty risks.
Paste Magazine
Tim Grierson
"White Bird" isn't about the disappearance of a mother but, rather, the emergence of a young woman -- plus, a reminder that a young actress is continuing to come into her own.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
[An] evocative, gorgeous, occasionally maddening film.
Film Journal International
Nick Schager
Marries trite coming-of-age pap with half-hearted murder-mystery suspense to create a work of staggering pointlessness.
Artforum
Melissa Anderson
Grounding White Bird in a Blizzard and providing its warmth, however, is Woodley.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Its elements don't really cohere.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Araki's campy-clunky, crass-for-crass'-sake adaptation of the 1999 novel by Laura Kasischke needed a full rethink.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
"White Bird in a Blizzard" is an alibi for Mr. Araki to flex his considerable muscle as a visual artist, using a palette that ranges from the blissful to the grotesque ...
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Woodley's depiction of Kat is low-key, natural and utterly unaffected; as she has in every role, she makes the character her own, with her scratchy little voice and level gaze.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
Beyond the prurient, there's not much of interest in this dour portrait of middle-class family values.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
It's Woodley's typically forthright, heartfelt performance that keeps White Bird aloft.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
There's simply not enough of the rude passion that must have drawn Woodley to work with Araki in the first place.
