Watch White Bird in a Blizzard For Free

Touches You

Just what I expected

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

White Girl in a Blizzard follows a girl trying to discover what has happened to her mother via flashbacks. This is an intriguing film that concentrates on how her mother going missing affects the daughter. The real mystery of the film though is just what did happen to her mother. It doesn't follow traditional storytelling techniques and bounces from place to place. This will annoy some but I think it made it a bit different to many mystery stories.I can't say I was taken with the manic performance of Eva Green as the mom which I found annoying and which detracted from the film. Thankfully though the film is driven along by great performances from Shailene Woodley as the daughter and also Christopher Meloni as the Dad. This is a strange film in many ways and far from flawless but it always grabs your attention and is a welcome change from many of today's predictable mystery thrillers. If you don't mind something a bit different this is well worth watching.

This movie is a hard movie to rate I feel, although many scenes are well orchestrated together as a movie it just doesn't make you feel anything, and the ending is clearly meant to be moving and shocking but it's really not.Acting is... Okay, it's not bad but again the cast fail to make you sympathise with any of them, visually it's really good looking so that's always a plus but a lot of times the movie seems more focused on showcasing Shailene Woodley's breasts than anything else.Now there's nothing wrong with them at all, in fact they are pretty neat however I'd prefer her keeping her clothes on if that meant that the director could focus on telling the story in it's best way as possible.Listed as a drama/mystery/thriller but the drama that is feel too flat and superficial to ever hit an emotional core, even though it tries in the end but by then it's too late and based on how the characters interacted with each other previous having that boastful dramatic ending simply does not make much sense.As far as the mystery well... sure there is some mystery I suppose but there are only so many ways it can end so it doesn't become very successful in that department either, plus most times it focuses on the teenager's sex-life more than anything else.As far as the thriller goes, well even less there going on honestly, there's not many scenes of suspense here to be found.No tbh it felt like this movie would work a lot better if they did it as a dark comedy and went a little more crazy with it, I think the movie could have succeeded at being that with just minor tweaks to the script.I was debating whether to give it a 5 or a 4 but after writing down my thoughts here it has to be a 4 after all, there is talent involved but the movie just kinda feels a bit pointless.

This film is so awesome I literally can not believe that this got bad reviews maybe it's because of the book it is based on I don't know but I thought it was a great well directed and very well acted film. Shailene woodly gives the performance of her career in this one and Christopher meloni was very good playing the sensitive super secretive father in thus film I also thought Eva green was amazing as the mean Suzi homemaker mother in this one and even the supporting cast is great the girl from precious as one of shailene woodlys characters two close friends and also the gay guy actor and the boyfriend actor were also great in this one. The only major issues I had with this one was the relationship that woodlys character had with the detective on her mothers disappearance case i just did not get it why did that need to happen I mean sure he was the first one to tell her that he thought her mother was killed by her father but I still just didn't like it at all. The other problem that I had with it was the pacing it just seemed like the director sped through a lot of the film particularly the relationship between the main character and her boyfriend I mean I get it he only had 90 minutes to work with but I still feel like he rushed the film a bit at times and it was a tad bit fast paced. However if you want to see shailene woodly the adult you will be very satisfied with this film because not only does she drop the f bomb a couple of times but she literally shows off her womanly rack I mean these were some of the greatest tits I have ever seen in a film I know I am a pervert but I don't care. Overall a great mystery independent crime thriller a true hidden gem and one that was probably very much overlooked also had a very great payoff and twist at the end of the film and the ending could not have been more perfect please see this one 8/10.

Unfortunately, White Bird in a Blizzard is just plain boring. There are only so many times you can see teenagers talking about and having sex. The story is one dimensional at best, but what makes this hard to watch is just the monotone, depressing state this movie draws you into. Whilst it's task is to show the life change when a parent walks out on you, it just seems to try too hard for emotions to flow, giving it an ambitious feel which ultimately doesn't work. I wish I could have liked this film, but there are too many issues which plague the story and directing. Nothing feels engaging enough for you to understand the characters and everything feels dry and boring with no excitingly entertaining progression in sight. To be honest, I wish I could erase everything about this movie from my mind, all except the gratuitous nudity which, sadly, is its only redeeming factor.
