Lohman appears in nearly every scene and gives an assured, sympathetic performance as Astrid.

The daughter's story is often haunting, but Peter Kosminsky's film . . . comes unglued because the mother is the stock psychotic villainess of countless Hollywood films.

An emotionally powerful story with some electrifying performances.

A truly involving, well-written and entertaining film supported by excellent performances...

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

Upsetting and dark, for older than PG-13.

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

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

Distinguishing it from Oxygen channel territory is its surprisingly hard edge.

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.

What should have been a guaranteed weepie is never truly moving.

A smart, compelling drama.
