The surprising thing about White Bird in a Blizzard is that it (or more the events of it) becomes startlingly redundant right after it ends. Oh sure there's some after thought to it. The film isn't even that bad. The performances are good,and the the story takes a big twist that executed really well I think, but the rest of the film while I cared when watching it just seems to melt away after the film ends. The reason for this is that the rest of the film other than the main story of a young girl named Kat ( Shailene Woodley) dealing with her mother having disappeared, has her discovering how sex, and relationships work. This is interesting,and even ties into the themes of the end of the film,but ultimately feels shallow. There's some fine work from Christopher Meloni,and Eva Green as far as I'm concerned at least has the charisma to carry a movie on her own. So really for the most part I liked this even if it is quite forgettable. I give White Bird in a Blizzard a 7.5 out of 10.
