  • "Astrid Magnusson, figlia dell'artista concettuale Ingrid, vede improvvisamente cambiare la sua vita quando la madre viene accusata dell'omicidio di un amante e condannata a 35 anni di carcere. Da lì in avanti è un susseguirsi di famiglie affidatarie, da quella precaria e proletaria dell'ex spogliarellista e cristiana rinata Starr a quella ricca e apparentemente felice dell̉attrice Claire. Su tutto l'ombra della madre, per cui la ragazza nutre un'autentica venerazione. Finché, a seguito di un tragico avvenimento, Astrid non si rende conto che nel loro amore c'è qualcosa di tremendamente sbagliato... (Mymovies)."

  • "Wanneer haar moeder wegens moord een levenslange gevangenisstraf moet uitzitten, groeit een tienermeisje in Californië op in verschillende pleeggezinnen."
  • ""Astrid Magnussen is a 15 year old girl, living in California. Her mother, Ingrid, is a beautiful, free-spirited poet. Their life, though unusual, is satisfying until one day, a man named Barry Kolker (that her mother refers to at first as 'the goat man') comes into their lives, and Ingrid falls madly in love with him, only to have her heart broken, and her life ruined. For revenge, Ingrid murders Barry with the deadly poison of her favourite flower: the white oleander. She is sent to prison for life, and Astrid has to go through foster home after foster home. Throughout nearly a decade she experiences forbidden love, religion, near-death experiences, drugs, starvation, and how it feels to be loved. But throughout these years, she keeps in touch with her mother via letters to prison. And while Ingrid's gift is to give Astrid the power to survive, Astrid's gift is to teach her Mother about love"--Internet movie database, May 8, 2003."
  • "Ausgezeichnete schauspielerische Leistungen und eine sensible Regie sorgen dafür, dass Weißer Oleander nicht zu einem der üblichen Tränendrüsendrücker wird. Dieses scharf gezeichnete Drama, das auf einem Bestseller von Janet Finch basiert, kann eine hochkarätige Besetzung vorweisen, aber Alison Lohman stiehlt allen die Schau. In ihrer Rolle als unruhiger Teenager, dessen übermächtige Mutter (Michelle Pfeiffer) wegen Mordes im Gefängnis sitzt, ist Lohman Herz und Seele des Films. Sie wechselt ständig die Pflegeeltern und steuert mit Vollgas in die Unabhängigkeit in einer Welt der Erwachsenen, von denen sie bisher nur enttäuscht wurde. Nachdem sie episodische Zwischenspiele bei einem wiedergeborenen Christen (Robin Wright Penn), einer selbstmordgefährdeten Hausfrau (Renée Zellweger) und einer russischen Immigrantin (Zvetlana Efremova) überstanden hat, findet sie endlich Trost bei einem Außenseiter (Patrick Fugit) wie sie selbst und lässt die vielen Mütter, die an ihr versagt haben, hinter sich. Der britische Bühnen- und TV-Veteran Peter Kosminsky, der hier sein Debüt als Spielfilmregisseur gibt, schafft mit Weißer Oleander ein Schaufenster für die beachtlichen Leistungen seiner Darstellerinnen. Dem Film fehlt vielleicht die emotionale Tiefe des Romans, aber er spricht Bände über die empfindliche Balance zwischen Freiheit und Verantwortung."
  • "White Oleander tells the unforgettable story of the relationship between a mother, Ingrid and her daughter Astrid. When Ingrid is jailed for a crime of passion, Astrid is shunted through a series of Los Angeles foster homes - each its own universe with its own laws, dangers and hard lessons to be learned. Whilst Ingrid tries to give Astrid the power to survive, Astrid tries to show her mother how to love her in what becomes a redeeming journey of self-discovery."
  • "Astrid is 15 when she witnesses the arrest of her mother Ingrid for murdering her boyfriend. Suddenly on her own, Astrid is shuttled through a series of foster mothers and homes. As she struggles to master the techniques to survive, her mother's powerful influence remains the only constant in Astrid's life. For good, and for bad."@en

  • "Ingrid, a smart, free-spirited, and somewhat narcissistic artist kills her deceitful lover in a crime of passion. Even while serving a prison sentence, she exerts control over her adoring teenage daughter, Astrid, who's forced to spend her teenage years in a series of foster homes before becoming her own person. Explores the strange relationship of Ingrid and Astrid, and includes Astrid's relationship with her foster mothers. At first merely an appendage of her mother, Astrid develops as a result of her peripatetic adolescence."@en

  • "Oleander can be poisonous. So can mother's love. Flamboyant, self-centered Ingrid is jailed for the murder of her lover. Yet she still controls the life of her impressionable 15-year-old daughter Astrid. Astrid is struggling to get a foothold in life as she copes with her manipulative mother and with the challenges of living in a succession of foster homes."@en
