Is "White Bird in a Blizzard" going to be good?

blasphemy. She is incredible. Critics agree on that so you are greatly in the minority there

Don't worry, she gets her boobs out. On here, that means acting talent.

Watch Penny Dreadful and see what an incredible actress Eva Green is. She steals every scene. She is that good

Saw the movie a few days ago and enjoyed it, as the friends who were with me. It's not perfect (Eva Green, whom I'm rather fan usually, isn't atrocious like Doctor Jack said but she overplays a bit) and except that scene in the very end with Chris Meloni that totally surprised me, some elements of the story are quite predictable. But the job done to recreate the late 80's/early 90's aesthetic is truly awesome, as the atmosphere established by Araki. The soundtrack, which features an impressive collection of hits, contributes a lot to it besides. On top of that, you've got Shailene Woodley's performance which for my part is more than worthy (haven't seen any of her films before and well, must admit I didn't expect that kind of show ). So in the end, gave it a nice 7/10 and a little birdie told me there's a good chance I'll buy the Blu-ray. If only to watch again that tremendous night club scene.

She's one of the reason I want to watch it.

I am normally a very positive person with film, often enjoying things that others can't seem to get behind...but I truly loathed most of the experience of watching White Bird in a Blizzard.

Woodley was great as usual, but I found Green to be cartoonish and ridiculous and the story felt totally meaningless to me. After it was over and I sat there baffled by the ending, I couldn't wrap my mind around what the point of the story was.

I am sure it is divisive and I honestly hope others enjoy it, I never wish ill on someone else's experience, but this is a 1/5 for me.

I think she's good in Penny Dreadful (see séance and possession scenes ), and The Dreamers...don't really recall any of her other performances with any clarity.

Well, the answer is a resounding no.

This has to be the worst film I've seen all year. How Araki took a minor masterpiece like the book and crafted a film this inept & tone deaf out of it is the real mystery, not what happened to Kat's mother. Green played Eve as if she was still on set filming Dark Shadows; it was an entertaining performance, but for all the wrong reasons.

And that ending. That ending. Why? Forgetting for a minute that it was needlessly and drastically changed, the approach taken was quite silly. On the one hand, Araki wants to end it inside Kat's head as she's reflecting on the denouement she's just made through a voiceover, but on the other, he simply can't unfurl his film without one last stupefying shock.

Ick.

I love Shailene Woodley and I definitely want to check this out!
