White Oleander Ratings & Reviews
Newsday
Gene Seymour
It's Lohman's poise in carrying this unwieldy story that impresses you the most at the movie's end.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
What should have been a guaranteed weepie is never truly moving.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Much of the pleasure to be had in White Oleander is in watching its female stars revel in their screen time.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
A smart, compelling drama.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
The picture's pretentiousness puts a drag on its running time.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Redeemed by some fine performances, most notably by Lohman.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
This is a third-person story now, told by Hollywood, and much more ordinary for it.
Denver Post
Steven Rosen
Too many of [Astrid's] experiences with adults ring false.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Some of the year's most arresting female performances justify White Oleander.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Upsetting and dark, for older than PG-13.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The film takes the materials of human tragedy and dresses them in lovely costumes, Southern California locations and star power.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
The film is worth seeing for its honest heart and for the magnificent acting.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
Though it flirts with bathos and pathos and the further Oprahfication of the world as we know it, it still cuts all the way down to broken bone.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
...heaps so much misfortune on its main character that you half expect the poor girl to turn a corner and fall into an open manhole.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
At its best it offers pleasures similar to those of 1940s women's melodramas.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
They kept much of the plot but jettisoned the stuff that would make this a moving experience for people who haven't read the book.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
In the end, White Oleander isn't an adaptation of a novel. It's a flashy, star-splashed reduction.
