The film is worth seeing for its honest heart and for the magnificent acting.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post

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

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