The White Crow

This is a sad film. A loner, disabled mom and her daughter move to a new town for a fresh start, but they are just too weird and don't fit in. Depressed, low self-esteemed mom is just heartbreaking to watch unravel. The teen daughter tries to fit in, to no avail. It seems as these desperate attempts at socializing just don't work. As if when you're stigmatized the stigma lasts forever. Even the light at the end of the tunnel doesn't ease the pain and sadness of a tragedy that came before. A well made indie film that leaves the bitter taste, as much as you want to look into a brighter future with a cautious smile. Damn, this one ruined my night.

A very boring and uneventful film

I just did not get this film. Maybe I needed to be under 20 to understand it? The mom seems like a king hearted soul, but a total misfit. The daughter seems to have zero self esteem, sense of self, or idea who she is, what she is, where she is going, or grounding in life. She is kind of a social drifter. A social opportunist, desperate to fit in. And she ends up selecting the worst possible girls to hang out with, as a result. Is this a cautionary tale? A sort of horror flick, that is not scary? I am not sure the film knows what it wants to be. Not much of a payoff in the end. Good casting. Good cinematography. The film was well done. Wish there was more content within it. Not much there.
