Let's face it, most films about teen angst are often of interest only to teens experiencing angst. Not so, however, with Matt Sinclair-Foreman's insightful and handsomely rendered tale of young man blues, White Out. Revolving around the friendship between the quiet, thoughtful Craig (Kyte) and his irrepressible best friend, Wade (Ellis), White Out explores themes of death, grief and guilt in subtle, surprising ways. Craig and Wade plan to go to Thailand after they finish high school, but Wade is killed in a class ski trip that the studious stu·di·ous adj. 1. a. Given to diligent study: a quiet, studious child. b. Conducive to study. 2. Craig had decided to skip at the last minute, despite his friend's entreaties. As Craig attempts to deal with his personal catastrophe, Wade turns up from the afterlife as a very animated, anything-but-frozen zombie A computer that has been covertly taken over in order to perform some nefarious task. It is estimated that millions of PCs around the world have been compromised and, under the control of a third party, routinely transmit messages unbeknownst to the user. . Through their imaginary encounters, Craig confronts not only his loss of Wade but also the truth that he had no intention of going to Thailand, having applied to university instead. The revelation of this truth, this small betrayal, is superbly realized in the film, delivered as a posthumous apology to his fallen friend. Sinclair-Foreman's assured and sensitive direction overcomes a limited script and, within its deceptively simple storyline, White Out packs considerable emotional punch. |
