CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
SnoopyStyle Leah (Morgan Saylor) is a cute white college girl living with her roommate in New York City. She gets hit on all the time. She works for Kelly (Justin Bartha) and they have a fling. After meeting Blue (Brian Marc) on the subway, they have sex on the roof of her apartment. She suggests that he can get a better price for his drugs at Kelly's party. Blue gets arrested while trying to make a buy. She needs money to hire defense lawyer George (Chris Noth).It's not surprising that no good would come out of this movie. In fact, a happy ending would have been a great surprising twist. This reminds me a bit of Kids. It has some of the grimy street level energy although the Hollywood stars bring one back to fiction. The story does stray into standard melodrama with her obsessive love but it always injects her raw uncontrolled sexuality. It does play with the edge of the envelop until it stops noticing where the edge is. The most surprising aspect is Bartha playing a douche in this indie. I've never seen him in anything with an edge. This may work better with another actor. The most memorable ends up as the final scene. It's jarring to see her as a college student for the first time.
Ellen Spencer The entire time I was glued to this film, its pure drama. I cannot recommend this movie enough to my friends. Its a wild adventure of a girl on an extreme summer break, and it all feels too real. I hated this film in the best way because it made me feel something, every dimly lit second of it. Any white girl, aged 16-30 will probably love this film, even if the whole time you're screaming 'OH MY GOD why did she do that' This is a story of a girl who spends a summer thinking with her short term gains in mind, its all fun and games until it hits close to home. God damn I don't wanna give away too much into the story because its so good, but trigger warning, there is rape culture that comes with most dramas about sex and teenage girls with drugs and dealers.
meeza Writer-Director Elizabeth Wood's indie film "White Girl" stars a very impressive Morgan Saylor as Leah, a New York city college intern who is a white girl that will do all it takes to get that white powder up her nose. Leah meets Kelly (Brian "Sene" Marc), a drug dealer who she falls for but consequently ends up Leah drowning in a heap of trouble after her new beau is arrested. With serious problems arising, Leah is over her head and eventually her nose with problems so she hires an attorney named George, executed nicely with no objections by seasoned pro Chris Noth. Wouldn't you know that Wood did an adequate job in directing and writing "White Girl". It is not a classic film, but it is quite magnetic; much to the credit of Saylor's energetic performance as Leah. "White Girl" won't change your life, but it is white on in many assets. **** Good
twotrybe So why would a person watch a film with little to no redeeming values? You will ask this question every ten minutes as this film flows deeper and deeper down the sewer line. There are people in this film that you grow to hate and not care for. The female lead exploits her own depravity where you question the basic logic of her behavior. She makes some of the most profound mistakes early on and she keeps making these mistakes throughout the picture. And the theme has been beaten to death and if there was suppose to be any shock value, it was lost in the delivery of the script and the direction. Why should we care about another drug user? Why should we invest in the relationship between her and her boyfriend drug dealer? We've seen this trope too many times to give a damn. The utter stupidity of this girl and the lack of any common sense just screams at you. Every minute that passed by makes you want to just end the film because it gets worse and worse. If this was suppose to be based on true events then I pity the person who's life this was based on because every moment was just so dumb. This was an ugly film where every character was despicable. The boss, the roommate, the boyfriend, the other dope dealers, the cops, the lawyer, there were no characters were you could shine a light on. No one can be this blatantly naive and expect to survive in New York City.
