White Oleander

Watch White Oleander (2002) online — a US–German drama directed by Peter Kosminsky, starring Alison Lohman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Renée Zellweger, and Robin Wright. When California poet Ingrid kills the man who left her, her teenage daughter Astrid is left behind to be handed through the foster-care system while her mother runs her life from behind bars.

Each new home reshapes Astrid in a different way — a born-again actress, a polished socialite, a couple living by military rules. The film is based on Janet Fitch's 1999 Oprah's Book Club novel. Kosminsky keeps the story grounded and unsentimental: no easy resolution, just a clear-eyed look at a girl fighting to become herself on her own terms. Stream White Oleander (2002) on iFILM.
