Original Title:

White Bird In A Blizzard

Shailene Woodley wrestles with hormones, the fate of her long-missing mum and a tryst with The Punisher in Gregg Araki’s ethereal if only half-successful suburban tale. The storyline brings together the raw materials of a noir thriller, before dissolving them in a wash of Douglas Sirk melodrama and dream sequences.

If it’s a more restrained effort from Araki than the headrush of Kaboom or the gut-punch of Mysterious Skin, there’s plenty of fun to be had in Eva Green’s Joan Crawford-esque turn as the vanished lady.
