"[It] tries for a somber tone that it can't maintain, partly because the cute protagonist conveys no gravity and partly because it's too frequently going for laughs or stupid melodramatic crises."

"Intellectually, you can respect the desire here to mesh low and high culture, black and white culture, and a Hollywood plot with an indie aesthetic, but for all of the ambition, there’s very little that’s able to enhance the characterizations."

"The melodramatic machinations of Peter Kosminsky's well-intentioned chick flick White Oleander don't exactly come as surprise or a disappointment, but it ultimately fails to live up to promise of its all-star cast."
