White Oleander (2002 Peter Kosminsky)

Brit Kosminsky also made The Government Inspector and Wolf Hall. In this, Alison Lohman has to escape from her controlling and dangerous mother Michelle Pfeiffer who's still trying to control her life though incarcerated for the murder of Billy Connolly. This happens with help or hindrance of various foster families, which include Robin Wright Penn and Renée Zelleweger and fellow inmate Patrick Fugit.

Thomas Newman's very recognisable score keeps film at quiet pace; that Eliot Davis chap again is on camera, Mary Agnes Donoghue (Beaches) adapted Janet Fitch's novel. The artist who drew the portraits and the graphic novel stuff are good.
