Overall, White is often regarded as the weakest film in the trilogy, but that is hardly fair. White has a lot to analyse and a lot of themes to discuss. This is a highly enjoyable film, set in a bleak world, where things aren’t in black and white.

Although a comedy, White is an examination of the aftermath of the Communist regime in Poland under which everyone was supposed to be equal.

White is very strange for a long time and in the end, everything makes sense. [Full review in Spanish]

[T]his is the comedy of the trilogy, not so much a black comedy as a wicked satire in the cold white light of Polish winter, which (as you would expect) informs the color palette of this film.

Its remastering of these three films is stunning, given that these films are rich in their coloring and textures. Images are sharp, crisp, and vibrant, bringing to life the lush color tones that saturate these films.

What a strange confection White is – an opera of male agony and outrageously implausible picaresque adventure. Yet it succeeds amazingly on its own melodramatic terms.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 5, 2023

Often overlooked due to its more jovial and subtle approach, Three Colours: White is a surprisingly affecting story that whilst not delivering as strong an emotional hammer blow as Three Colours: Blue is just as an important study of French society.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 30, 2023

It’s not as absorbing as its two celluloid compatriots in the trilogy, but it’s entertaining (and clever) enough in its own right.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 26, 2023

The finale to a storied career with one of cinema’s most artistic accomplishments of the century.

The somber, lyrical, metaphysical questioning that dominates Kieslowski’s sensibility is much more playfully deployed in White...

| Sep 7, 2022

While Blue and Red both take more sympathetic and optimistic ideas of their central tenets in White, Kiéslowski’s decides to depict in its most sinister interpretation.

While this is easily the lightest of the trilogy, “White” clearly has much to say about a host of things pertaining to the human experience.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 25, 2022

In Kieslowski's world, what goes around comes around, and Karol's journey to self-improvement ... is funny while also being strangely moving.

I suppose the acting and filming of White is fine but the story and characters were too insufferable and annoying for me to care about

| Original Score: 4/10 | Apr 26, 2020

It's as if Kieslowski is playing God: guiding his characters through circumstances entirely out of their control, orchestrating the rhythms of everyday life with the ease of a puppet master... magical.

| Apr 5, 2020

Unquestionably well made, and with a clever and very concentric vein of humour and storytelling verve sustained throughout.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 12, 2018

This hugely talented director seems to do everything with a shrug -- scratching at subjects rather than excavating them.

| Dec 7, 2017

As probing and meaningful as any arthouse hit of the '90s, lacking only the drama and mystical qualities of Blue and Red to overtly flag itself as such.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Sep 5, 2013

A bleak but ultimately hopeful comedy which, if it hadn't got to be called White, might very well be dubbed Black.

| Aug 9, 2012

The least favourite of the trilogy, this is also arguably the most accessible.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 9, 2012
