Leave your thoughts about White Squall.
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonI enjoyed the movie for the sheer physical exuberance of its adventure. It is magnificently mounted and photographed. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertI enjoyed the movie for the sheer physical exuberance of its adventure. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliWhite Squall is a success because the good elements are so well-orchestrated that they dwarf the few obvious flaws. This film offers just about everything, including a twenty-minute white-knuckle sequence and a chance to shed a few tears. In short, it's first-rate entertainment. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversAmid the action heroics of White Squall, Bridges creates a character of consequence. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThough lavishly produced and based on a true story, it still fails to satisfy. |
| Town Talk (Alexandria, LA)Andrew GriffinBridges puts his shoulder to the wheel and impresses audiences. |
| Washington PostRichard LeibyThe movie's a shipload of coming-of-age blather, supplemented with enough rolling-sea footage to make the audience yearn for both Dramamine and a decent drowning scene. |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserThe storm sequence is worth the wait, as scary and dramatically filmed as any ocean disaster you've seen in the movies, but the tribunal that follows is so muddled as to end the film in a great big anti-climax. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumThe story has its corny aspects, but thanks to Scott's skill as an image maker and as a storyteller--proceeding from the very blue and very abstract water seen behind the credits to the climactic, extended storm--this is superior to both "Dead Poets Society" (as a tale about a boys' school and its charismatic teacher) and "Apollo 13" (as a true-life action adventure). |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanWhite Squall is lovely to look at, but frustrating to behold. |
