Critics Consensus

White Girl isn't an easy watch, but it adroitly walks the line between exploitation and drama -- and marks an admirably assured debut for writer-director Elizabeth Wood.

White Girl is basically sex scenes and people snorting cocaine strung together by a hair-thin plot. The title suggests that it delves into race issues, but really the only two times race is blatantly mentioned is when at first she asks the Latino guys for weed, and they go on a rant about how just because their Latino means that they're drug dealers. Which is funny because they actually were, so that stereotype rings true in this movie. The second time is a throwaway line by the lawyer, which doesn't really point out her privilege because it's not backed up by the rest of the movie. In fact, every person of color in the movie is a walking stereotype. All of the Latino guys are seen as "creeps" and drug dealers, the only black guy shown is also a creep, and the only black woman is a pregnant woman in line to see her boyfriend or whoever in jail. Every character was one-dimensional, and the love interest, who I can't even remember his name because they said it like twice, is described to the audience as "more" than his drug dealings, but they never once show him doing anything else. They never once show him being a real human being, every scene is him smoking, dealing, or fucking. And because of the tone of the movie, and how every guy is a fucking creep, it makes this character with no actual character traits of his own seem like a creep too. And because of the way they use the Latino characters as props and stereotypes, it seems like the film is saying that every Latino guy is out to get and fuck white women. The relationship feels like it spanned over two days, because of the lack of development and it just becomes boring to watch, since it's basically the same scene over and over again. It doesn't delve into the gentrification, the actual mature topics of sexism and the male gaze in everyday life, and racism and how bad our justice system and prison is. The guy would've been sent to Rikers, which is one of the worst prisons in the US and I wish they explored that. I think the writer should've actually consulted other perspectives before she marketed it as a "critique on race", which she did by naming the movie WHITE GIRL so that it could actually tell a compelling and thought-provoking story. Because currently, the story is so bland and overused that it feels like every 2000s lifetime movie. It's basically Spring Breakers, but with some racism in it and more drugs and nudity. There's literally no substance to this movie, at all. It would've really been more interesting if she really had to examine her privilege but she doesn't even have a character arc because her character is nothing. Her character wants nothing. Her character has no traits whatsoever, besides being a reckless druggie. She has no wants, no hopes, no dreams, no fears, no nothing. None of these characters do. So when bad stuff happens, no one gives a shit. It had so much potential, but the writer should've done a lot more self-reflection on her whiteness and talked to others so that she could've actually had an intense piece of art. I only gave this movie 2 1/2 stars instead of 1 because of Anthony Ramos, and the main guy who both were great actors. The main girl sucked ass though, she kept doing the Disney channel-Debby Ryan face but with more twitching. Watch this if you want, but if you actually want to get a rounded perspective on race and gender, and especially its roles in NYC, watch something else. The show Grand Army is a good start since it's more accurate to what growing up in NYC is like, from all different perspectives.

Basically a modern Snuff film. It's hard to say more about it - excess to show exploitation but not much else.

reminds me of indy movies I got exposed to in the 90s. Morgan Saylor has good instincts. Maybe not for everybody. But the approach to the cinematography and the natural acting style is a nice break from typical Hollywood machine movies. compelling in a human way even if it has lots of flaws. I'm only 47 minutes in, so it could go off the rails, but I have a good feeling.

This was the worst movie I have ever seen. Such a shitty plot had to be a masterpiece to create.

Beautiful direction. Spectacular acting. A well constructed story of privilege and victimization.

Chicago Sun-Times

Frequently difficult to watch, White Girl is the powerful feature debut of a filmmaker with original vision and clear talent -- and a movie that proves a lead actress can possess the gift of transformative performance skills.

Rated: 3/4

Chicago Reader

Neatly plotted and minimally staged, the movie marks Wood as a talent to watch, but Saylor deserves equal credit for her layered performance as the title character, a confident young woman who crumbles into a confused and frightened child.

San Diego Reader

First-time writer-director Elizabeth Wood's White Girl sets out to be a Great Gatsby for the 21st century - and perhaps in the process, to depict the orgastic future that Fitzgerald mentioned at the story's end.

Rated: 2/5

Toussaint Egan

Polygon

White Girl is a shocking and frenetically paced movie, a nightmarish thrill ride comparable to the Safdie brothers' 2017 Good Time that's equal parts exhausting, exhilarating, and heartbreaking to watch.

The feature debut of writer-directed Elizabeth Wood tries and fails to balance being harrowing and disarmingly funny.

White Girl so desperately wants to be shocking. Instead, it's merely numbing.
