Review of White Oleander (2002) by Alyssa D — 05 Nov 2008
White Oleander follows a young woman's journey through hardship and loss, to maturity, joy and true independence. After her uncompromising and seductive mother Ingrid, (played by Michelle Pfeifer) kills her boyfriend for abandoning her, fifteen year old Astrid (played by Allison Lohman) witnesses her mothers arrest.
A sight that would change both of their lives forever. Suddenly, Astrid is on her own. Sent to several foster homes, Astrid struggles to master the techniques she needs in order to survive the harsh world she was thrust into.
In the three years that mark her passage from childhood to adult she must overcome things that will earn her the freedom from her past.
