Christianity Today gives this 'R' rated movie 3.5/4 stars:
The White Ribbon throws us continually off balance, veering from the strange happenings to engage us in a conversation while the real action is happening elsewhere. We are always too late to the scene, seeing nothing, understanding little. It's maddening, but also addictive: maybe, as this story slowly unwinds with no discernable conclusion, we will discover what's going on.
But The White Ribbon gives no easy answers, no reductive conclusions. It simply looks deeply at the cruelty the human heart is capable of, and leaves us to ponder the rest. We can only imagine what happens after the credits roll.
