Leave your thoughts about Three Colors: White.
| CineVuePatrick GambleThree Colours: White brings Kieślowski back to his Polish roots and explores issues of equality through nationality and the fragile dynamic of marriage. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawWhat a strange confection White is – an opera of male agony and outrageously implausible picaresque adventure. Yet it succeeds amazingly on its own melodramatic terms. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonKryzstof Kieslowski's White...is a continuing testament to the Polish director's poetic mastery. Like all of Kieslowski's works, White articulates a whole language of sensations, images, ironies and mystery -- often with a minimum of dialogue. But it is no rarefied, abstract exercise. The movie...aches with human dimension. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAll of these films approach their subjects with such irony that we cannot take them at face value; "White" is the anti-comedy, in between the anti-tragedy and the anti-romance. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenAt heart, White is a black comedy with intriguing characters and a plot that plays its cards close to the deck. |
| The New York TimesCaryn JamesThroughout, White is filled with exquisite scenes that don't press too hard...and those moments are all the richer for their understatement. |
| The GuardianDerek MalcolmThe film specialises as much in a kind of ironic gallows humour as in laughter pure and simple, but bitterness is also avoided - which is a small miracle in itself considering the subject matter and the setting. |
| VarietyLisa NesselsonThe entertaining second seg of Krzysztof Kieslowski’s “Three Colors” trilogy is involving, bittersweet and droll. A fine lead perf from Zbigniew Zamachowski anchors an ingenious rags-to-riches tale of revenge filtered through abiding love. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliDespite its flaws, White is an excellent character study, and the presentation of a twisted love story is compelling. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThere’s something earthy and elemental in this tale that was missing in Blue, something quirky and (measured by Kieslowskian standards) energetic. |
