Review of White Bird in a Blizzard (2014) by Jon C — 14 Jan 2015
It's Shailene Woodley's most mature and grown-up role to date.
She plays a girl named Kat who's mother suddenly disappears and two years pass without any clue of what might have happened.
Araki directs the film with a few familiar trademarks; the flashbacks and the dream sequences are beautiful.
Eva Greene as the strange and unusual mother is excellent along with the oblivious, clueless husband played by Chris Meloni.
It does have the 1980's time era in tact as well.
Kat is very much throughout a majority of the movie a 'white bird' trapped in a state of confusion trying to find her way out.
Is it possible her mother left on her own or did something else happen that she's unaware of?
The ending is quite nerve-wracking when the pieces come together.
It can be stressful and deadpan at times but Araki adapts the best-selling book into an emotional and flowing trip.
