The movie

On a winter day in the middle of the 80s, a teenage girl’s mother mysteriously disappears and her life takes a unexpected new turn. Four years after the splendidly crazy Kaboom, Gregg Araki is back with an adaptation of Laura Kasischke’s famous novel. A true psychological thriller, White Bird In A Blizzard explores a girl’s transition to adulthood with finesse, thanks in large part to a brilliant Shailene Woodley. Mesmerizing.
