(drama)
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.

Strong performances by Lohman, Penn, Zellweger and, above all,
Michelle Pfeiffer in a faithful adaptation of Janet Fitch's novel.
It is not difficult to see why it does not attract more attention in cinemas, because it lacks the ingredients that seem to characterize
hit movies today - as
action,
violence, sex and stunning special effects. Just a very moving story,
well prepared and well acted. I'd recommend to anyone.
When I met commercial and trailers for it, I thought this was
will be a suspense thriller because it has something to do with
murder, and such classic murder. Unexpected. But as I
seen, I was wrong, especially the introduction of the same, but when
first saw him, he did not know who she was, the film I saw in the
commercial, and that surprised me ! That is what made me want to sit
see this movie. It is basically a young woman who is arrested, and
her daughter has to move form home to home, and visits her mother
prison, telling the experiences he had in his mother
Contradiction, and as she continues her mother still tells how it should really
rather than continuing what he has learned: love, friendship,
belief in God, and hear as this, he realizes his
his mother will go, everything they ever said things that are describes itself
and not anyone else. So she decided to tell what really is love, and finding
on this guy who was involved. It is typically a
disillusioned mother who has become cynical about the outside world
after she has broken the heart, and now is taken to jail after she
murders that harmed her, and her daughter must be
somewhere else. I really liked, and he did made me feel a little sad, and made me
sympathetic characters in it, I recommend it to fans
Michelle Pfeiffer and those who enjoy dramas, and those who find other soaps
tedious, this is for you as for me, I give an excellent 10!
Renee Zellweger is in this too, make sure your ground.
