If you love psychological thrillers and drama, White Oleander pleases both your palates. By the end of this film, you are left wondering if you really knew the main characters at all. Michelle Pfeifer and Alison Lohman are the perfect (yet not so perfect) mother/daughter pair. Physically, they resemble one another a great deal, and their characters are strikingly similar in these roles. The story hooks you in the beginning, keeps you involved till the end, and you will both laugh and cry in between. If you are looking for senseless humor or an on-the-edge-of-your-seat thriller, this film is not a good fit. If you love a movie that keeps you thinking and wondering, while playing with your emotions, press play! No matter how many times you watch it, you will question your ideas about the characters. The title is perfect! Like a White Oleander, each character is beautiful but potentially deadly.
