| Chicago Sun-TimesBill ZweckerSaylor has created a character who will haunt you for some time after you leave the theater. |
| Washington PostPat PaduaWhite Girl vividly charts what is at times a violent culture clash. But it is the young lovers’ desperate attempt to bridge the gap between their worlds that makes the film so deeply moving. |
