Leave your thoughts about White Material.
| Movies.comDave WhiteIf you think you're going to get a simple anti-imperialism message from French director Claire Denis, you've got about seven other things coming. Her movies defy expectations all the way down the line. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaWhile White Material is very much the story of this one woman, it is also a story of postcolonial Africa, a place where Europeans staked their claim, and where disorder and destruction upended everything. A mournful, frightening, powerful film. |
| Goatdog's MoviesMichael W. Phillips, Jr.Possesses a defiant, exhilarating life, a testament to its peerless crafts(wo)manship and its uniqueness. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...an unsettling, harrowing look at the self-delusion of a colonialist who's convinced that she has become fully integrated into the country - and the family - she's occupied. |
| NPRElla TaylorYet in the end it's less the climactic madness and mayhem in White Material that sear the memory than it is the silent, balletic creep of child soldiers, grabbed out of school and sent with machetes and rifles through a forest to exact revenge for decades of repression. |
| The National (UAE)Kaleem AftabThe film's refusal to assert blame or come up with answers about Africa serves as a lesson to filmmakers. Denis paints a complex picture, one that is beguiling, ambiguous and thought provoking. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerA visually ravishing, structurally beguiling portrait of post-colonial race-conflict as a hallucinatory apocalyptic dream. |
| Dork ShelfShelagh Rowan-LeggDenis creates both sympathy for and anger at Marie. She is not a stereotypical colonial overlord, yet her insistence on remaining borders on madness. |
| San Antonio Current Kiko MartinezThe consistently despairing tone is remarkable, as is Isabelle Huppert's understated and absorbing performance as a woman lost in deep-seated denial and facing an inevitable end. |
| Film.comWilliam GossA maddening movie that gives the viewer plenty to think about, but little to care about. |
