Review of White Bird in a Blizzard (2014) by Barry T — 20 May 2015
This independent film was well thought out and had good intentions. The plot while a bit dry at first eventually became interesting and started to unfold around her life and misconception of her family.
But almost wasn't worth waiting the first half hour for. Shailene Woodley's performance in the movie was unlike any of her other movies so broadly based on romance. This movie gave her space to grow as an actress.
However because of her talent it felt like the movie relied too heavily on her performance and lacked in depth of other character relationships. As the story progresses trying to guess the ending is next to impossible and as soon as you think you have it, the plot changes opening up different opportunities for the ending.
The ending is nothing you could have guessed, it's got quite the twist.
