Wonderful character development!

Very well executed

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Kat's mother up and disappears. Kat immediately starts sleeping with the detective on the case. There are flashbacks where we see Kat's mother treating her like a pet "cat" and being a cold hearted bitch to her father. Kat has dreams of walking through a snowstorm and her mother calling her name. Kat's boyfriend acts suspiciously when Kat comes home from college. There is a flashback scene when the freezer in the basement becomes unplugged by accident and stinks up the house. As soon as this scene occurs, the ending is obvious. The snowstorm represents the inside of the freezer, where Kat's mother's body is. Her dad killed her mother and hid the body in the freezer. Except we have no sympathy for Kat, who tells her therapist that she doesn't miss her mother at all, and just wants to sleep with guys. Nor any for her mother, who right from the start, like stated earlier, is just a cold hearted bitch. And of course, there has to be a homosexual element to the story, as every single movie and TV show has these days. Skip this movie. It's a waste of 90 minutes.

I rented this to see Eva Greene. She was there, but she played a distraught, emotionally damaged woman so it was not the treat I had hoped for.This movie is about a girl who has a mother that is obviously NOT in love with her husband. The poor daughter is an innocent victim in this situation. Something appears to have snapped in the mother such that she is totally unhappy with her humble existence as a homemaker. She was close to the daughter when she was little but somehow that has cooled now that the girl in in her late teens.She grows increasing negative and one day just disappears. This leaves a hole in the daughter that she learns to deal with but the hole is always there, never quite healed.It is a bit depressing to see a family be so deprived of loving relationships.There is some mystery but the movie has no really stellar moments. The acting was okay, never felt like any were "acting", but again nothing stood out as being really amazing.

In 1988, a teenage girl's life is thrown into chaos when her mother disappears. The problem with White Bird in a Blizzard is how it chooses to use represent it's characters and how it's so tough to actually feel bad about someone in this movie for example it was really weird to see Thomas Jane and Shailene Woodley sleeping together, the word F*ck was in like every single scene and the ending was horrible in more ways than one. Now the good stuff except the nude scenes Woodley is very different both in the way she looks and acts and she really challenged herself a lot, Eva Green was good but her character didn't got enough screen time, Christopher Meloni ruined the film for me he was good until that ending came out this film is definitely much better than Gone Girl which was pretty dull and full of horrible characters but don't except anything more than just an alright film with a good idea, great actors and a very awful ending (6.4/10)

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.
