White Bird in a Blizzard

...it’s Woodley’s typically forthright, heartfelt performance that keeps White Bird aloft.

Shailene Woodley wrestles with hormones, the fate of her long-missing mum and a tryst with The Punisher in Gregg Araki’s ethereal if only half-successful suburban tale.

Designed to within an inch of its life, and possessed of an almost Lynchian visual sensibility, this dreamy/nightmarish weirdie finds Araki reining in his anarchic excesses with rewarding results...

Green is fantastic here, truly memorable in just a few scenes.

...is at its most inventive and energetic when showing us how characters inadvertently wear garments that match the oppressively color-coordinated objects in their homes.
