White Girl is a superficial thrill ride through contemporary, radical youth culture, approaching the film with those expectations diminishes the layers underneath
the character is based partly on the exploits of Elizabeth Wood, the film's writer and director, so art really is imitating life - though neither is immediately recognizable as such
"White Girl" won't teach you anything the world hasn't already taught you, but it vividly illustrates how identity is inextricable from experience, and proves that point with a viciously blunt final shot
by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone ]
