Alison Lohman has just got to be one of the prettiest girls on film EVER! Okay, so during WHITE OLEANDER she wore a wig, but that's the way she looks anyway. It is a crying shame that she dropped out of the filming scene - she has since returned, but there should have been more from her back in those days.
Michelle Pfeiffer is the quintessential actress of her time, she is the very symbol of grace, elegance and female desirability amongst people with a taste for the better things in life. It is therefore quite surprising to see her getting her name shown after the newcomer in the credits. But you're hardly watching before you realize that Alison is some child genius. Okay, then the second surprise, and this one, I think my jaw dropped open when I researched her on Wikipedia... Alison is much older than she appears to be. I mean, she is young, but as Astrid, she looks, well, 14, 16 tops.
My regards to the casting department on excellent work with the two main characters. Michelle is superb, Alison is wonderful.
The movie itself? Has got to be the worst failure at filming a murder mystery EVER! This has got to be the weakest murder ever committed to film! No wonder there are people in the audience who believe Ingrid is innocent. So, Ingrid seemingly placed some oleanders in a glass of milk, and the police arrested her IMMEDIATELY...? Highly unlikely. .
But for fans of Michelle Pfeiffer, a must, and if you want to see a pretty young girl who is, like, charmingly droolworthy, albeit in a very, very innocent way, look no further than Alison Lohman.
Ooh, and I am THE South African fanatic when it comes to Robin Wright thanks to her glorious stint as Kelly Capwell in SANTA BARBARA, and you have to go and spoil my memories of her...! Only kidding, great work, Robin!
As for Renée, truth and fiction seemed like the same thing. She was cut out for the part. Not meant as a compliment. Check her out in LOVE AND A .45, she shouldn't have gone the Bridget Jones route...
After seeing this movie last week, I have since began negotiating to buy more of her titles, starting With WHERE THE TRUTH LIES.
