A smart, compelling drama.

The film is worth seeing for its honest heart and for the magnificent acting.

fresh:
Though it flirts with bathos and pathos and the further Oprahfication of the world as we know it, it still cuts all the way down to broken bone.

rotten:
A movie that wafts in and out of clarity like a wavering transmission.

fresh:
Much of the pleasure to be had in White Oleander is in watching its female stars revel in their screen time.
