   Is White Oleander (2002) a good movie?

   • Although WHITE OLEANDER (2002) is a very good movie, the subject matter - a young girl growing up in foster homes with different, dysfunctional families - is not a pretty one. It requires us to examine our own lives and compare them. Astrid (Lohman) is 12 when the story begins, and 20 when the film ends, getting past the difficult subject matter.

   Is White Oleander (the book) good?

   • The book White Oleander was great, but there are a few discrepancies in the movie adaptation. For instance, Michelle Pfeiffer's character is an artist instead of a poet in the movie (perhaps a focus group error?). Noah Wyle's character's name was changed from Ron to Mark for unclear reasons. Most significantly, much was left out of the movie.
